Mr. Bones is back again, always crying wolf about us. Unfortunately for him, he only provides for us free advertisement.
lyrics
Another full moon tonight and these fools parade around, speaking that… that devil tongue, performing satanic ritual music, luring our children down a dark path of violence and degeneracy! Of course, I’m talking about Vetus Morbus! ‘Vetus Morbus?’ You ask, ‘I’ve never heard of them!’ Well, that’s what makes them so dangerous! They count on your ignorance. Don’t be fooled! Vetus Morbus... a gang of miscreants coming to terrorize our peaceful way of life. Know their names and never fall victim to their little ploys. The Howling Outlaw, Ryan Channing, will hunt you down and sell you to the deep web. Do you feel a sudden chill in the air, like you’re being watched but no one’s there? Beware! His name is Emil Carter. If you see an old, decrepit, sour-smelling corpse, do not! Feed! It! That’s Dead Grotti and he’ll eat you just for fun. And the worst of them all… the ring leader of this diabolical circus… and I tell ya, looks are deceiving with this one… Dianne “V” Ashworth. Together, they call themselves Vetus Morbus, using their ‘music’ as a gateway to hell.
(Call & response “Fah lies ul / Fush se ul”)
You can hear it already, can’t you? Their incessant chanting. Pied pipers, they are! (exasperated sigh) The only way to protect yourself and your children is to be in the know! They flaunt themselves on social media… Facebook, Instagram… even YouTube is infected with their influence! Follow them and know if they will be near to you and your family. Stay safe out there, folks. Good night, sleep tight, and don’t let the undead bite.
