Pain

*Play this song on YouTube.*

"**Pain**" is a song by Type O Negative, included on their second album *The Origin of the Feces*, released in 1992. This is the altered version of "Prelude to Agony" on the last album *Slow, Deep and Hard*. This one sounds no different than the original apart from sound effects at the beginning and Steele at the end saying "Hey, I got some good news for you morons. This is gonna be out last song!". The lyrics is about rebelling on women after being sexually puppeted by them.

This song is split into four cantos, but there are just two musically different ones.

## Lyrics

**[Canto I. "Jackhammerape"]**

Agony and ecstasy

Your cries of pain my pleasure

to know my machine internally

Your torment I treasure

Lifeblood combined with semen

You're screaming my laughter

The compressor is running smoothly

'Tis vengeance I'm after

**[Canto II. "Pain (Is Irrelevant)"]**

Pain

**[Canto III. "Jackhammerape" (reprise)]**

Begging becomes your love song

You're dying

I masturbate for the crime of burning me

I give to thee jackhammerape

Jackhammerape

Jackhammerape

Jackhammerape

Jackhammerape

**[Canto IV. "Pain (Is Irrelevant)" (reprise)]**

Pain

Pain
