A song about pranking your coworkers by pouring toxic chemicals in their lattes. The exact toxicity of ethidium bromide has more recently been disputed, but we hope that any drinker of large quantities would at least fluoresce nicely under UV light. Originally written sometime during 2009-2010 in Austin, when two of us were part of the blackened ska band Crippled Citizen.

Note: This track is missing bass and backing vocals.

Lyrics:
A holocaust moon scowls past bleeding gusts of torment;
Its dismal glow of discarded bones pierces mordantly into the cold void,
Casting jagged umbrages that contort with shivering grotesquery to the
Shrill drone of a sick dirge, like steel scraping steel, like the choking shrieks of a stabwound;
Conjuring the noisome reek of maggot rot, the vile flavor of embalmment,
And injecting venomous horror into the veins of the living.
