I drug you with tequilas so you won't realize That I poisoned your tortillas and you're about to die Death needs no invitation, he comes 'round without warning And when he knocks on your door, I'll gladly let him in Chorus: No siesta won't save you In fact, it's the last nap you will do You're dying by the food Exclusively cooked for you No siesta won't save you In fact, it's the last nap you will do You're dying at my feet Full of poisoned meat “Riva riva andale” is what you were used to say But since you don't say nothing, this ain't your Lucky Day You're coming to an end, just like this ditty does So for the sake of sing alongs, the refrain is coming up Chorus 'This is Ramirez goes Mexico and it’s always well received at my gigs, though the brilliant trumpets that introduce the song and return later on are absent in live situations. While writing the song I had some trouble writing the lyrics but it’s all right as it is, and in the final verse I even included a reference to the 1986 western comedy ¡Three Amigos! (in which Steve Martin played Lucky Day). No Siesta! is about poisoning a Mexican with tortillas. His favourite meal. And speaking of it I also am a great Mexican Food addict. When I recorded this song for Reload Your Gun! I slightly changed the arrangement. For some reason I’m not able to sing the original 1998 vocal melody of the refrain as it was recorded for the second Danny Ramirez tape any longer, so I had to use a different guitar chord. Frankly there hasn’t really changed much, just half a note. No Siesta! was first heard live at Danny's first gig (April 2, 1999), and -- except for December 24, 1999 -- was done at every show until December 22, 2022, but gets played less often nowadays'

Chorus: I have got killing spree fever tonight I shoot ev'ryone that cross my sight I don't care if you're wrong or right I just hate ev'rybody tonight I have got killing spree fever tonight I shoot ev'ryone that cross my sight I don't care if you're black or white I just hate ev'rybody tonight When I was still a little boy I didn't have a lot of toys So with the guns I now have I'm gonna hit the streets and cause a lot of death Chorus See, I'm an ordinary guy But I'm the one to make you die So with my shotgun and my fire power I will cause a bloody blasting bullet shower Chorus 'After this song was first recorded (in 1998), it wasn’t released. The original recording is a sort of up-tempo Elvis song, complete with drums but I wasn’t too satisfied with this version. Only in 2001 I recorded a second, acoustic version ’cause I thought it would be wrong to leave it unknown to the fans. The lyrics tell about some guy hitting the streets, hating ev’rybody that night and firing away in a killing spree. It’s very much inspired by Elvis, and has been on almost all of Danny's set lists since it was first done live on June 29, 2002, until February 16, 2019, but gets played less frequently nowadays.'

I get into a trance and watch the moon rise Obscured by clouds in the night sky I got dope and alcohol by my side And will forget what happens tonight Chorus: Full moon ritual mutilation on dope and alcohol Body parts on my table And a head in the refrigerator I feel the rush of alcohol through my veins And the dope now controls my brain And with no respect for eternal rest I take the knife and distort the flesh Chorus 'As can be concluded from the title, I think this one’s also composed on dope and alcohol. The recordings I made for this song turned out to be pretty good. It’s an uplifting song about degrading a human being. The title is much inspired by the great horrorgoredeath metal band Necrophagia. Full Moon Ritual! was the first one to be recorded for the Misanthropicus Fanaticus!-cd, and was basically the reason to start working on a second full-length. Except for two dates the song has been on every Ramirez live set list since the final version made its live debut on June 1st, 2007, but it may have been played once or twice in 2006 with a different third and fourth line in the second verse.'

Though I ain't no singing psycho killer My therapist he tells me something's different He seems afraid that I will go mad But I don't see no reasons for that The movies I watch should be banned To protect society and the government The books I read contain doubtful contents About murdering while shutting off your conscience Chorus: I used to skin my cats when I was young Some time later I started with arson Along the way I bought me some guns That I own to show off and to hunt And though all of my neighbours disappeared Underneath my house there's really nothin weird One might say I'm quite a normal person Just forget about the animals and arson Chorus 'The lyrics of I Used To Skin! don’t tell about murder, but are about some guy who showed similar behaviour in his younger years as much of today’s serial killers did when they were young. The person in the song knows he’s been killing his neighbours and buried them underneath his house, but he denies it. The music, vocal melody and overall atmosphere remind me a bit of a French chanson. Although Skin My Cats! has been done much live since its debut performance on June 29, 2002, in later years I sometimes skipped it. For instance, it wasn't played at all at the Misanthropic Winter! 2008 gigs. But on April 19, 2008, the song returned on the set list and has been on most of them since.'

Chorus: I drug you and I'll take you home You'll be unconscious before you know It's onto the attic you go Where pretty soon your ordeal will unfold I go around the bars late at night Looking for someone to submit to my might I'm just there for a talk you think But when you look away I put some highly addictive (sedative) sleeping pill in your drinks Chorus I have some friends that will join in For the humiliation to begin Sedated yet held up in chains You live your life until the time I load a gun and cut off your days Chorus 'Though most of my lyrics are somewhat brutal lyrics, this one is very somewhat brutal. Of course it was written as a warning to everyone leaving their drinks unattended during nights out. I Drug You! was done at about 20 gigs from November 15, 2002, until February 15, 2008, but hasn’t been played live since. With Full Moon Ritual On Dope And Alcohol! and It Is The Night Of The Horned One! it nonetheless remains one of the most performed Misanthropicus Fanaticus! songs.'

Chorus: You know I got Satan in my blood It's for a good cause to be hated by men and god That's why I've got the blackest of all blood My 'soul' once will be ablaze When I descend into the sea of flames Until that beautiful burning day You'll get to know my misanthropic ways Chorus I despise the god that created life It's a mockery combined with lies The only thing that really thrives Is the feeling of contempt growing inside Chorus 'This is another Ramirez cut in praise of the devil, which all have to be viewed upon as ‘entertaining Satanism’. Although the music sounds quite cheerful, the words despise god, life and mankind. I’m not like that all the time, but a certain side of me is. Especially when I’m sober this side sees chance to come crawling out of my mind. So one can say that I got Satan in my blood when there’s no alcohol in it. Toward the end of the song on the 1999 tape the words are replaced by a catchy humming part for all to hum along. The cd version is almost one minute shorter, because on the Satanic!-tape it goes on and on and on. Up from December 31, 1999, Satan! has been on most of the set lists, but it tends to get played less since September 2016.'

The full moon stood still on that fatal night Reflecting from the blade that slid inside You never know what had hit you Over and over again Didn't knew (know) death would take you there and then Chorus: May your remains rest forever Right on the place where you died And may your soul go to heaven And your family be alright A blood-red silence filled the deep dark night A lifeless scene of death shone upon by the moonlight You're never to stand up again Forever face down in the sand Never knew death would take you there and then Chorus + But I guess you'll be eaten by scavengers And be gone by daylight 'A dark, moonlit night and a hillside form the scenery to these lyrics that are about an unexpected murder by stabbing the victim to death. The poor guy never saw it coming. Although his soul might go to heaven, his human remains will be eaten by animals out in the wild. The song was played in concert about 10 times from April 3, 2004, until February 23, 2008. On the studio recording for the 2007 Danny Ramirez cd I added some Commercial Untrue Black Metal influences by parodying Cradle Of Filth in the title-line, so the singer of that ten words would be Dani Ramirez, or of course Danny Filth. The rest of the band (drums, bass guitar, keys) comes from the keyboard, and I added some real played electric guitar, of course commercially mixed down to somewhere in the background.'

Chorus: I hope you die in a freak accident I hope you die in a freak accident Your life ain't worth shit I've had enough of it I hope you die in a freak accident Your wheels have been running for much too long Down the roads of life But when you drive the country roads It ain't hard to survive Well, there will come a day or night Your death car will arrive And the highway you're on then You won't leave alive Chorus You drive like crazy, you're lost in stress You're running out of time You're always late, yeah way too late To see the traffic lights Why would you stop if it's good for your car And better for your life Just drive on through, underneath a truck You will be just fine Chorus 'This one is somewhat different from the other lyrics, because it’s about getting irritated by motorists driving through a red light while driving in your car or on your bike or moped on a crossing lane through the green one. All rules are made to be broken, except for the rules in traffic. After I Hope You Die! had become the biggest hit on the first Ramirez tape, I decided to record it again for Reload Your Gun! because the song is one of the favourite sing alongs at Ramirez gigs, and has been the final song on the regular set list since Danny first started performing live on April 2, 1999. However, in a surprising turn of events after May 14, 2022, Freak Accident was temporarily removed from the set list, only to be played again live more regularly up from September 2023.'
