Description
This belongs to the same batch of songs as "when Jesus was a kid", recorded before we found a formula we were happy with for "gnostic disco". It sounds curiously as the Hamlet Machines should have sounded when they started.
The "for one eye both eyes, for one tooth the whole mouth" comes from a slogan by the french maoists (sic) of the late sixties.

Lyrics
Your face
I’ll never forget it
In one million years
Your face
tiil I will see it
all Covered with tears
Your name
It is like my own
It’s carved in my brain
My name
I’ll notch in your bones
As you’ll writhe in pain
Your place
I know where it is :
Somewhere I have found
Your place
Will burn to ashes
Down To the ground
Retaliation
It’s the sweetest emotion
For one eye
Both eyes
For one tooth
The whole mouth
Sonner or later
It’s better than never
For eye one
Both eyes
For one tooth
The whole mouth !
Your corpse
I’ll laugh when I’ll drag it
Over cutting stones
Your corpse
I will hamstring it
For vultures to feed on
Your grave
I will rememeber
Every year to visit
Your grave
I’ll bring no flowers
I’ll just to piss on it
I’ll never forget it
In one million years
Your face
tiil I will see it
all Covered with tears
Your name
It is like my own
It’s carved in my brain
My name
I’ll notch in your bones
As you’ll writhe in pain
Your place
I know where it is :
Somewhere I have found
Your place
Will burn to ashes
Down To the ground
Retaliation
It’s the sweetest emotion
For one eye
Both eyes
For one tooth
The whole mouth
Sonner or later
It’s better than never
For eye one
Both eyes
For one tooth
The whole mouth !
Your corpse
I’ll laugh when I’ll drag it
Over cutting stones
Your corpse
I will hamstring it
For vultures to feed on
Your grave
I will rememeber
Every year to visit
Your grave
I’ll bring no flowers
I’ll just to piss on it

I like it. Can't help but think of the music video for this...maybe an abstract, artsy thing, rather than a horror...
Got some great stuff going on in the lyrics. Like notching the name in the bones, and pissing on the grave.
The music, since I'm no expert, I can just say sounds good. Hamlet Machines makes really contageous music. I like that organy synth thing.
