This is an automated heavy metal verses generator, based on a very basic pseudo-crawler (pseudo AI involved). Step 1: select a random band on darklyrics.com Step 2) pick an album 3) extract 3 not contiguous verses 4) show it! This script needs https://sourceforge.net/projects/simplehtmldom/

Lying to friends
Corrupt them with hate
Thirty thousand dead_
