Gravy Train
Golgothan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My income is determined by the fate
Of a dog food company withering away
Failing, at best, the product is shit
Not even the fucking scavengers will eat it

But I have a plan to succeed
Not only for the product, but also for me
Radical as it may be, I have no doubt
That it will change the world deliciously

Flexing my nuts as I walk through the door
Of the gathering that defines the future
Of a company bleeding money
I do not await my chance to speak

Bare witness to a king
Claiming his throne
Delegating a course of action
To harvest the means necessary
To redeem the funds required to
vanquish our competitors

Feeding them flesh of a human
Will be a fresh taste to the palate of
Canines deprived of their favorite meat
Domesticated?
But who is the king and the pawn?
Who's controlling requirements for their feast?

They agree to try out my plan
Survival instinct overcomes reasoning
"Let's manufacture the product immediately!
But where will we get the meat?"

We'll harvest them from the morgue
Obscured by the absence of light
Unbeknownst to the dormant public
Less overhead, more profit
There's nothing that can stop us

From becoming the top of the food chain
Quite literally, the top of the food chain

The shelves are stocked
The seed is planted
And as they began they're quickly wiped away
Just as I thought that I was winning, the news reports came piling in

"Mass domestic dog attacks sweeping the nation
Seeming to only target human beings"




All they needed was the taste of flesh
And I'm responsible for the creation of death
