When the Covid pandemic froze public life, the devil got so bored that he started going to the gym regularly. And what does he do there? 666 suicide squats. Written in 2022 and released as a single in January 2023.
lyrics
SUICIDE SQUATS
I scheduled a zoom call with the devil
I said Devil, where have you been,
you must be out of business, the world’s doing fine
since everyone’s in quarantine
He said he was getting weak
but now he’s into fitness
He’s stronger than he’s ever been
I’m doing 666 suicide squats
and all my rivers fill with blood
I’m doing 666 suicide squats
and I’m feeling pretty hot
I see angels on treadmills that slowly die of boredom
and I tell you man that this is actually real
I’m doing deadlifts at the dead end of the metaverse
and my barbell is the axis of evil
I’m doing 666 suicide squats
and 42 pull downs
I’m doing 666 suicide squats
far more than anyone around
I’m tired of pretending that it’s gonna be alright
says the man in black to the devil when they meet at night
I’m tired of it as well, but I’m tired of the fact
says the devil to the man in black
I’m doing 666 suicide squats
and the world’s my kettlebell
I’m doing 666 suicide squats
and my muscles burn as hell
What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger
says the man in black to himself
What doesn’t make you stronger will kill you in the end
says the devil to the men
I’m doing 666 suicide squats
before I’m getting older
I’m doing 666 suicide squats
with the world on my shoulders
