Do you see the Dog Star
burning brightly in the sky?
If you do, I pity you
because you're doomed to die

Frankincense and myrrh have we
to appease perverted lusts
do not torture man's best friend
take ME if you must

I will be the hostage
to appease your selfish gods
Come! Take me to the darkness
where nobody trods

I shall don a dogsuit
in eve's gloaming light
when Korean bully shows
to kill with all his might
