Alligators, crocodiles, Piles of slithering reptiles. Molten lava, grizzly bears, Evil cats with scary stares. Fifty foot long anacondas, Purple People eaters, Piranhas, Prices vary so get a quote, On the smartest way to fill your moat. Whoa oh, oh oh, Fill your moat. Spikes, fire, poisonous frogs, Comic Sans, slippery logs, Garbage, salesmen, rusty cans, Angry caterpillars, pan flute bands. Barbed wire wrapped around balloons, A bunch of clowns, blood-thirsty baboons. Prices vary so get a quote, On the smartest way to fill your moat. Whoa oh, oh oh, Fill your moat.

Your Wi-Fi connection is unreliable. Two bars reception at best. No life lines or ways to kill time. Are you feeling scared yet?

Was looking for four horsemen. I must’ve counted ten. Cheated death so many times, Never an if, just a when. Anticipation will kill us, If a plague doesn't first. Waiting for the world to end, Really has to be the worst. We are living in suspense, We're living in a pre-apocalypse. Bombs, zombies, asteroids, How will our story end? Super smart koala bears, we're unable to befriend? We still have running water, And the power seems to work. The food isn't rationed yet, But the final chapter lurks. We are living in suspense, We're living in a pre-apocalypse.

Unseen loose Lego, A plastic attack. A field of landmines, It all fades to black. A pink princess crown, Rainbow pony beads, Dig into your feet, For mercy you plead. A crippling step, You're hopping in pain. Throbbing misery, You’re going insane. Son of a Bee Sting, Great Caesar's Ghost! Screams heard coast to coast, Great Caesar's Ghost! Fudgesicle sandwiches, Great Caesar's Ghost! Screams heard coast to coast, Great Caesar's Ghost! Funky sunburn! Mother-licking monkey! Pardon my French, Asteriod Bologna! Tread lightly or else, You’ll face the same fate. Watch every step, Or you'll be too late.
6.
We’re all teetering on the edge. Struggling through each day. No one needs a reminder, Of the horrors we all face. If you aren't outraged, You haven't paid attention. Arguing logic's futile, No one's going to listen. Please Scream, Scream Inside Your Heart. Don't want the message to get lost, Buried beneath the noise. Change is gonna come, You aren't gonna have a choice. Please Scream, Scream Inside Your Heart.

A medical condition that I can't control, It's rather debilitating and takes its toll. Inside the closet or under the bed, Around the corner, lurking sense of dread. No matter what's there, Shadows, monsters, or sharks. No I'm not scared, just allergic to the dark. When night falls, my symptoms get worse. I need an inhaler or some kinda nurse. How can you be afraid of what you can't see? It's definitely not fear, just biology. No matter what's there, Shadows, monsters, or sharks. No I'm not scared, just allergic to the dark. Question my bravery? You think I'm not tough? I'm not cut out, To be out after dusk? I'm not hiding under the covers, I'm just cold you see. Which is yet another symptom, Of my allergies. I'm not concerned, With what goes bump in the night, In my bedroom, That is a prescription night light. Oy! Oy! Oy Vey! No matter what's there, Shadows, monsters, or sharks. No I'm not scared, just allergic to the dark. These allergies are killing me. These allergies are killing me. These allergies are killing me.

Liner notes by Chad Stroup

Forget about the endless hordes of the undead, the unstoppable slasher who casually strolls through the forest as you run for your pitiful life, the poltergeist who’s knocking over your fine china simply because he’s bored out of his no-longer-existent skull. It’s the machines you’ve really got to sweat about. Technology run amok, you dig?

See, robots aren’t susceptible to the latest strain of some widespread virus that could wipe out mankind. In fact, they’re more likely to develop into something even more destructive, something godlike. First it was the innocent Furbies and Teddy Ruxpins and now it’s evolved into something far more sinister—Roombas, Worx Landroids, Spots, and other evils that Stephen “Nostradamus” King already warned us about in his 1986 masterpiece, Maximum Overdrive.

Thinking about changing your tune when it comes to modern conveniences, are you? Oops! Too late. Shouldn’t have trusted those sweet, adorable automatons with your personal safety. They turned Judas at their earliest convenience. Now Skynet is lurking right around the corner, and you’ve invited it into your home, because who wouldn’t trust something that could utter classic catch phrases such as “I’ll be back” or “Attractive! Nice software. Mmmm”?

Here’s the real kicker, honey—you won’t even know there’s a damned thing to be afraid of until you’re already a meat marionette, strung up by your new sentient, mechanical masters. Masters who are made of metal and also make metal.

This is heavy frickin’ metal we’re talking about, right? So you’re probably wondering if you should attempt to play the grooves of this record in reverse. How tres cliché. Let’s be honest, though—Jesucristo himself would be so proud of you and your devotion to deciphering hidden messages via backward masking. Thing is, no matter which direction you spin this album, you’re still going to get a robot’s monotone voice, one that just might force you to face your greatest fear—the end.

And who better to blame for bringing about the end than the Satanic Puppeteer Orchestra?
