The Donkey-headed Adversary of Humanity Opens the Discussion Lyrics

The d.h.a.o.h. opens the book
The d.h.a.o.h. opens the discussion

I am the adversary and must remain the adversary
I am not yours to embrace
I am not yours to invoke
The d.h.a.o.h. sleeps in the hall
Watches for signs of our imminent demise in the scratchings on the wall
The d.h.a.o.h. sleeps in the park
Listens for sounds of our eminent decay in the singing of a solitary lark

Mankind is a plague
Breathing hell into every corner of the rotting earth
Even now in this our finest hour
I feel the hate of every stone, tree & flower

Even now
We fall under the long shadow of the donkey's ears
Even now
We listen for the slow grinding of the donkey's teeth
Lalala
We weep in the din of the stomping of the donkey's black hoof
Lalala
We weep for the slow coming of our doom (Dance)
Mankind is a plague
Breathing hell into every corner of the rotting earth
Even now in this our finest hour
I feel the hate of every stone, tree & flower

Eaters of the soil take us into the ground
Death by worm
Eaters of the air drive us from the blue
Death by sparrow
Eaters of the sea take us into the green
Death by eel
Eaters of the scraps take in our beds
Death by dog
Eaters of the soil take us into the ground
Death by sand
Eaters of the air drive us from the sky
Death by flower
Eaters of the green take us into the sea
Death by water
Eaters of the scraps take us in out beds
Death by stone
Death by silence
Death by sorrow

The d.h.a.o.h. closes the book
The d.h.a.o.h. closes the discussion
