Voltaire is a genius Goth Jew from New Joisey, and one of the best things that ever happened to music and humor (unless wasting all that time prowling the Internet for gems like this is not something you really wanted to do, in which case you need a Voltaire Recovery treatment center, you poor anhedonic bastard).

Voltaire:

Scroll down for lyrics:

This is the title track of my new album. The album was named by a young man named Alex who posted on my Facebook page "Voltaire's music is the audio equivalent of riding a black unicorn down the side of an erupting volcano while drinking from a chalice filled with the laughter of small children." When I read that I knew I had to name the new album that! AND I knew I had to write a song called that as well. And here it is!

You are enjoying this song for free, but it was far from free to make. This album took 4 months and over $20,000 to make. PLEASE, if you enjoy what you hear and if you can, please consider purchasing this album at:

Lyrics:

A darkness falls over the land
Enslaves with a wave of its hand
And I tried to see the light through the disease
I try to get up on my feet
Been so long shackled down on my knees
Oh somewhere deep inside, I know
That fate favors the bold

So tonight, I’m riding a black unicorn
Down the side of an erupting volcano
And I drink, drink, drink
From a chalice filled
With the laughter of small children

When darkness is drowning your soul
And makes you feel alone in the cold
Find me, and grab a hold
This chalice, it overflows

So tonight, you’re riding a black unicorn
Down the side of an erupting volcano
And you drink, drink, drink
From a chalice filled
With the laughter of small children

Lords of strength and gods of might
Hand over the reins
Lest our path mad tonight
We find the will to break these chains

And ride!

So tonight, we’re riding our black unicorns
Down the side of an erupting volcano
And we drink, drink, drink
From a chalice filled
With the laughter of small children
And the blood and tears of our enemies
