about

No more fun and games, FEPO demands to be taken seriously!

lyrics

So dark, fast and heavy
Gives you a sonic wedgie
Guitars and drums on fire
No way this could possibly be satire
No place for wimps or posers
False metal gets blown over
This is the realm of only the true
Titans of metal, not purveyors of bamboo!

Our message is so vital
the words are indecipherable
Spin tales of myths and legend
Importance can’t be questioned
Our logo needs no letters
just random spread out feathers
Punk bands all speak like British --
I do ze zame, but Finnish

This is a serious metal song
Blast beat to outer space, it’s you and me and Neil Armstrong
This is a serious metal band
We’re our own separate world, just like you crossed the Rio Grande
We have a serious point to bring
But have to growl, you’d understand if you heard me sing
Whatever happens, know that this could be no joke
Just the thought of a smile will likely make me choke

No core, won’t play breakdowns
Paint type is corpse, not Kiss or clowns
No pop, mainstream goes gold
But precious metal won’t corrode
Can’t stand bland top 40
Won’t suffer weak or corny
Commercial tripe so trashy!
But T Swift is a little bit catchy
Find saddened joy in sorrow
Make clothing from saguaro
I’m just too kvlt and tr00
To wear red, yellow, or blue
This is much more than music
it’s soul-care, therapeutic
My whole identity
Is metal as mercury

So I’ll reject all your societal norms
With the sound and fury of 1,000 thunder storms
I’ll use verbiage that’s multisyllabic
Metal fever? You better know I’m symptomatic
I’ll show you my collection of medieval swords
That I bought with points from Hot Topic rewards
I’ll use a pseudonym you’ll never know my name is Ross
So double metal I’ll invert your inverted cross!
