About cult leader Shoko Asahara's ghoulishly weird self-mythology. Coincidentally, he was executed shortly after. Cowritten by Wikipedia.
lyrics
Hang me upside down
I drink his bathwater from the magic pond
Space cartoons, women’s pubes, quests for truth
Tested gas on sheep
Then used it on our hit list when this guy
Tried to escape so we microwaved him
Now he’s in the lake
Bad karma’s bodies pile up as you stand in our way
With the art of conscious dying you’ll be saved from that fate
Very soon, you’ll be still and lying
Only we will be here beyond these years
Spiritual scientists remain
After World War Three kills the nuclear beast
Anthrax and Ebola, Russian helicopters
Millions in U.S. dollars, I’ll ride my rocket
Just like in Asimov, like in anime
Bad karma’s bodies pile up as you stand in our way
With the art of conscious dying you’ll be saved from that fate
This is just an act of kindness, if you knew, if you knew
Very soon, you’ll be still and lying in the fumes
