Death in the Pit (The Legend of the Chicagogre) Lyrics


Deep in his den, amping up for the show

Drinking heavily, doing some blow

His eyes glazed with red lines streaking his sclera

Moshing his heart out to Pantera

8 o'clock sharp, already in line

Perspiring foul, odorous brine

Ready for battle, he'll face death in the pit

Tonight he may die, but he don't give a shit!

What's he never given?

-A GODDAMN SHIT!

Reason for living?

-DEATH IN THE PIT!

Chicagogre rises up from the crowd,

Surfs to the front, then crashes to the ground

After the show, to the night he is bound

To wander the streets 'til the next gig is found

Second song of the first band of the night,

He rips off his shirt, fuckin' ready to fight

Should your paths meet you will surely die

Turn and run cause he is too drunk to try

His stench marks his presence, you don't need more proof

As he points at himself, then points to the roof

With a drunken roar, he commands that we lift

To the front of the stage, he is offered as a gift

What's he never given?

-A GODDAMN SHIT!

Reason for living?

-DEATH IN THE PIT!

Here is the site, where he must fight

On this dark and evil, full-mooned night

People running and screaming for the door

Chicagogre battle lives forevermore!

Surfed to the front, he roars for more thrust,

Should he fall on you, you'll be crushed beyond dust,

Reaches the railing, aghast are the security,

Screaming for backup, they must catch this monstrosity!

End over end he falls to the floor

Crushing a guard to death as he shouts "ONCE MORE!"

Back in the pit so he may die in battle

Banging his head, his mind's fucking addled!

What's he never given?

-A GODDAMN SHIT!

Reason for living?

-DEATH IN THE PIT!

The Chicagogre rises up from the crowd,

Surfs to the front, then crashes to the ground

After the show, to the night he is bound

To wander the streets 'til the next gig is found
