Maggots
Gwar · Other Songs - Gwar
Vile forms of Necros lie rotting my mind
Feasting like maggots - maggots in flesh
So left your ruined cortex behind
Now the maggot knows glee as it nibbles on your spine!
[Chorus:]
Maggots! Maggots!
Maggots are falling like rain!
Putrid pus-pools vomit blubonic plague
The bowels of the beast reek of puke
How to describe such vileness on the page
World maggot waits for the end of the age!
[Chorus]
Beneath a sky of maggots I walked
Until those maggots began to fall
I gaped at God to receive my gift
Bathed in maggots till the planet shit
[Repeat chorus a lot]
Feasting like maggots - maggots in flesh
So left your ruined cortex behind
Now the maggot knows glee as it nibbles on your spine!
[Chorus:]
Maggots! Maggots!
Maggots are falling like rain!
Putrid pus-pools vomit blubonic plague
The bowels of the beast reek of puke
How to describe such vileness on the page
World maggot waits for the end of the age!
[Chorus]
Beneath a sky of maggots I walked
Until those maggots began to fall
I gaped at God to receive my gift
Bathed in maggots till the planet shit
[Repeat chorus a lot]
Maggots
Gwar's 'Maggots' stands as a quintessential example of their grotesque, theatrical metal style, blending horror punk energy with satirical lyrics about infestation and societal decay. Released during the band's peak era of chaotic performance art, the track exemplifies their signature approach to combining visceral soundscapes with absurd, dark humor. The song reflects the band's broader catalog of works that challenge traditional metal norms through aggressive instrumentation and theatrical vocals, cementing their reputation as pioneers of the extreme metal scene. Its enduring presence in their discography highlights their commitment to creating a unique sonic identity that merges the visceral with the ridiculous.
