Lyrics
Misery
Please put me out of my misery
I'm wounded and ready to die
Like a bull waiting for the coup de gras
My last breath will soon pass on by
The torture you inflicted for so long
Has finally had the desired effect
I'm emotionally drained, my nerve ends strained
And as for my self respect ?
Chorus
You really have been some work of art
A force of nature in place
You've been even more focussed than a plague of locusts
As you lay the landscape to waste
Verse
I surrender to your superior force
Your dark arts have triumphed for sure
Dante's Inferno even can bear no
Resemblance to the hell I've endured
I have some grudging admiration
For the campaign you've waged through the years
If its Armageddon to which I'm headin'
You won't hear my cries or see any tears
Chorus
You really have been some work of art
A force of nature in place
You've been even more focussed than a plague of locusts
As you lay the landscape to waste
Bridge
So have mercy on your humble servant
I'll not be the slightest bit unruly
I certainly won't strain or even mildly complain
As you tighten the bonds on yours truly
Chorus
You really have been some work of art
A force of nature in place
You've been even more focussed than a plague of locusts
As you lay the landscape to waste
