ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE

1. JUST MEAT

I've been wandering around
This fucked ghost town.
A carcass. A carrion. Waste.
I left hope a million miles back.
I left hope dying by the roadside.

So my withered heart
Beat down, defeated
Plunges out of my chest
No trumpets as it drops to pieces.

Who else?
What else
Could I have been?

False iconoclast?
Prince of deception?
Christ for the future?
Or just another body?

Who else?
What else?
could I have been?


2. GOD I HOPE THE DATA IS LYING

Here in this house of endless bloodshed
There is no air
We never sleep
They smell our skin a mile away
Shaken
I am the ashes in ossuary
Careworn and lame
This threadbare brain
Sends only signals of decay

If I
Can fall to sleep
Don't dare disturb my rest

Because it's been so long since it was safe
So I wait here
Feeding on fear
With knuckles white and dripping red
Shaken
I face defeat at my own hand today
Before the end
Comes from outside
I draw it from within

The fog of war distress

The signal repeats:
The fog of war
S - O - S
S - O - S


3. BREAKING OFF FINGERS

Dear destruction
I was tempted
But would sooner bleed to death
Before you got the best of me
They're closer than they were before
I am surrounded
So do me in (so do me in)
You motherfucking coward

Imprisoned by permanent horrors, I thrive
Betrayed of afraid or alone, but alive
Because and in spite of these scars, I've become
I'm breaking off fingers, one by one

(Breathe Deep)
And I know I'll fear again
(Drink Long)
But I know I'm here again
(Rest well)
And just like the last time
(Stay strong)
This won't be the last time

Split my skull
My eyes glaze over
The gnashing sinew pops
And screams, but not me
So have my flesh
Shred skin to smithereens
But you can't touch the core of me
Or anything it means

No

I wipe away all of the blood from my eyes
To see all your novelty nuanced with lies
In irons that wreak of your devious design
I'm breaking off fingers one by one
It's a hell of a time

(Breathe Deep)
And I know I'll fear again
(Drink Long)
But I know I'm here again
(Rest well)
And just like the last time
(Stay strong)
This won't be the last time

So do me in
You motherfucking coward

Imprisoned by permanent horrors, I thrive
Betrayed of afraid or alone, but alive
Because and in spite of these scars, I've become
I wipe away all of the blood from my eyes
To see all your novelty nuanced with lies
In irons that wreak of your devious design
I'm breaking off fingers one by one
One by one, one by one
It's a hell of a time


4. MURDER BE A LADY TONIGHT

She was revenge
Ripping
Through the night

We made a hell filled to capacity
And raised her hand to our throats

She'll walk the earth
Collect dues
From age-old debts

She's gone cold
She still burns
She's gone cold
Stumbling, smashing
Hacking, slashing
All women rise

Every honored father
Every single brother
Every favorite son
Complicit in this terror
Send them back to holy hell
In burning body bags
Guilty

One final fate
Cornered and castrated
Penance dispensed
No pretty face

She's not dressed to kill
But good enough
Murder be a lady tonight

She's gone cold
She still burns
She's gone cold
Stumbling, smashing
Hacking, slashing
All women rise

Murder
Be a lady tonight

"It's so little brutal,
But it's a wonderful love story"


5. TALE TOLD BY A DEAD MAN

Chorus:
Please, kind ferryman;
Death and pale horse
Grandfather
Those above, those below
I'm aimless and helpless and cold
And scared to death of life
As a dead man
Eternity's a long time to wait for forever to end
Oh dear reaper, are we not so grim?
Kill me. Claim me. End me. Revive me
Oh dear reaper, won't you reap me?


SEND MORE PARAMEDICS

6. INTERMISSION OF THE DEAD

(Instrumental)


7. FROM THE VOID

Fire in the sky, a sign from above
Noonday light dies, red sky dawns like blood
Symptoms unknown, no explanation
Your faces like stone, invasion's begun

That light in the sky is my soul
My destiny, I'm doomed to follow
I'm sentenced to wander below
Strange masters have taken control

From the void
They rule my soul

Eternal unrest, zombie astral
Perpetual undeath, an evil angel

Amnesia, eclipsing the mind
Domination complete, by alien kind
Master of puppets, remotely controlled
These marionettes, usurping your ghost

That light in the sky is my soul
My destiny, I'm doomed to follow
I'm sentenced to wander below
Strange masters have taken control

From the void
They rule my soul

That light in the sky is my soul
My destiny, I'm doomed to follow

From the void
They rule my soul
From the void
They rule my soul

Eternal unrest, zombie astral
Perpetual undeath, an evil angel
Eternal unrest, zombie astral
Perpetual undeath, an evil angel


8. ZOMBIE VERSUS SHARK

Nightmare grimace seen
Glimmering through swell
Shadow under water
Closer through his veil
Zombie deathfish stikes
Mutilating jaws
Automatic bite
Savage wounds are torn

Impossibility of death
Serried razor knives carve through putrid flesh
Hellish breakneck plunge back down to the depths
Rank cadaver resists with insane strength
Immolated in elemental wastes
Blind assassins draw close in death's embrace
To their killing compulsions eager slaves
Unrelenting hate, all-devouring rage

Zombie
Versus shark
Mindless mass murderers locked thrashing in the dark
Look at those soulless eyes
There's something dead inside
It's from hell

Back in for the kill
Dismemberment complete
Organs flowering
Flecks of shredded meat
Down into the dark
Twitching fragments sink
Writing body parts
Gnawed by sightless fish

Within the white belly of the beast
Severed zombie head laughs through shattered teeth
Malevolent mutant spirochete
Replicating with pathogenic speed
Now deep within this blood-pink sea
Stalks a deathless killer straight from your direst dreams
Zombie deathfish with microbe-strangled brain
Resurrected to kill and kill again!

Zombie
Versus shark
Mindless mass murderers locked thrashing in the dark
Look at those soulless eyes
There's something dead inside
It's from hell

Feeding frenzy, feeding fren-zy (x4)


9. FUNERAL

Funeral
The last obsequious rites
With filial devotion commit this body to the night

Funeral
Mark this passing
Show your anguish
Cast your handful
On this casket

These eyes like sapless wells are dry
As flowers shrivel up and die
I've waited so long for this day
Spitting on your fucking grave
I've waited all this time in line and now
I'm gonna take what's fucking mine

I will nail you down (x4)

Funeral
The last obsequious rites
With criminal intention erase this body from your life

Funeral
Mark this passing
Show your anguish
Cast your handful
On this casket

Recognize this
Familiar visage
One last caress
Unfinished business

You were like this when you were alive
You never let it lie
Even from beyond the grave
You drain my life away

I will nail you down
If it kills me
This is killing me
I will nail you down
If it kills me
You are killing me!


10. NOTHING TASTES LIKE THIS

Do I see and do I feel
And is this all real or is it just nothing?
Nothing more than physical
An illusion formed by neurons firing?

No
Feelings
Just nothingness

No
Consciousness
Just hollowness

Do you dream, do you percieve
Or does it just seem (to me) that you are thinking?
Are you merely mindless machines
And is it just me here experiencing?

Monstrous figments eat my brain
I'm feeling insane - but do I believe this?
Everything We think / we are
Will now be devoured by things with no existence

No
Feelings
Just nothingness

No
Consciousness
Just hollowness

Mind is machine (x4)

Nothing tastes like this (x8)


11. THIS IS THE PLACE OF WAILING AND THE GNASHING OF TEETH

Cast into this outer dark
Blighted wasteland grey and stark
Cowering under this black sun
Shelterless, now here to run

Exiles from the light
Left out in this place to die
From out of this deep we cry
But there is no reply

This is the place of wailing
And the gnashing of teeth
Dimension of the damned where the walking dead
Are tortured with an endless grief
Zone of a sleepless torment
That will find no relief
A desert of despair where unhallowed souls
Stumble choking with a thirst that will never cease

Bloodshot vision, brimstone curse
Doomed to wander this bleak earth
Wretched rejects, worthless slaves
Ripped untimely from our graves

Exiles from the light
Left out in this place to die
From out of this deep we cry
But there is no reply

Grind
Your
Teeth

This is the place of wailing
And the gnashing of teeth
Dimension of the damned where the walking dead
Are tortured with an endless grief
Endless abyss of abjection
And the absence of light
A dungeon oubliette where demented shades
Are locked up in eternal night

Hellward bound
World without
End
