Cabeca De Abobora
Gangue morcego Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Descendo pelas ruas
Terno estragado
Olhos flamejantes
Cabeça de cbóbora
Rei da escuridão
Espalha todo o ódio
Cabeça, cabeça, cabeça
Caos com foice na mão!
Cabeça de cbóbora
Fogo jorra pelo ventre
Garras na garganta
Solta grito estridente
Cabeça de cbóbora
Tenha medo se encontrar
Irá puxar seus olhos
cté eles estourar!
Cabeça, cabeça, cabeça
Caos com foice na mão!
Ratos e baratas pelos olhos se aglutinam
Vômitos repassam seu caráter assassino
Cabeça infernal veio roubar sua alma
Pra descansar em paz, pra descansar em paz
Salve a cabeça fantasma
Morram os seus inimigos
c chama que, por dentro, ela emana
Queima o vosso intestino!
Cabeça, cabeça, cabeça!
Cabeça, cabeça, cabeça!
