EXHUMED

1. ROT YOUR BRAIN

Life, another cruel joke, the unkindest cut
A mocking, hollow shell
Death, would free you from this yoke, but a sense in your gut
Won't let you leave this hell

The damage already done
There's no recourse but one
To take the strain
Of a world gone insane

So rot your brain
Let the decibels stream, get lost in the pain
As your ears start to bleed, find the solace you need
In this numbing refrain: Rot your brain
Your eardrums throb, fight pain with more pain
Let your mind go to seed, you'll find all that you need
In this numbing refrain:
Rot your brain

Pain, the only release, all that's left to feel
Overwhelming the chaos in your head
Scream, as you stop seeking peace, there's no need to heal
A psyche that's already dead

In a mind long destroyed
All that cancels the noise
Is this deafening dissonant strain
Where madness becomes sane

So rot your brain
Your spirit benumbed, the din starts its thrum
Embrace the decay, you're half-dead anyway
Let the neighbors complain as you rot your brain
Find the solace you seek in the cascading gain
Tympanic membrane be damned, place your life in the hands
Of the musically deranged and-
Rot your brain

Don't mind the grue as your ears leak and ooze
And drool coats your dull, waxen face
Now at last you find peace, as your brain functions cease
A mind is quite pleasant to waste

(Solo - Sebastian)

Rot your brain
Drown out all the lies, brain cells wither and die
All thought blurs away, and the stench of decay
All thought blurs away, and the stench of decay
Will be all that remains- Rot your brain
Embrace the danger, of this cacophonous clangor
Grey matter will ooze, but there's not much to lose
And madness to gain, when you-
Rot your brain


2. BURIED TO DIE

Lofty goals are ill-conceived
With higher learning no reprieve
It's a shakedown six feet deep
From your stones the blood will weep
Crushed beneath a mortarboard
Cranial fractures along the fore
Inhalation becomes a chore
Your aspirations are no more

Under plans connived
Struggling to survive
You are buried to die- To die!

Buried to die
Buried to die

Your pockets emptied of all scrip
The plot is dug to cash your chips
As mortal fortunes are bogarted
A fool and his life are soon parted
Entombed by methods byzantine
Acrid breaths from venting spleen
You can't live beyond your means
A deadbeat smashed to smithereens

Blood pressure runs high
As the end draws high
You are buried to die- To die!

Buried to die
Buried to die

(Solo - Sebastian)

Buried to die
Buried to die

Unable to writhe
Cut down by the scythe
You are buried to die- To die!

Buried to die
Buried to die
Buried to die
You are buried to die


3. DEAD, DEADER, DEADEST

In the splintered mirror of a jaundiced mind's eye's view
The rot spreads everywhere, as abscesses burst and spew
Necrosis profligate, with nothing living in sight
Death without life, ubiquitous blight, a death-scape of cadaverous white

Dead, deader, deadest
Scorning existence, pursuing excresence
Dead, deader, deadest
Forsaking sentience, embracing pestilence
Dead, deader, deadest
Abandon respiration, accept termination
Dead, deader, deadest
Dead to their cries, deader veils 'pon our eyes, deadest dreams, now realized

(Solo - Matt)

Death lasts forever, there is no respite from its clutching grasp
It looms in every future, and is the sum total of our collective past
Necrophiliac praises, echo through catacombs of mortality
Naught stirs to receive them, for death has deceived them, subsuming eternity

Dead, deader, deadest
Scorning existence, pursuing excresence
Dead, deader, deadest
Forsaking sentience, embracing pestilence
Dead, deader, deadest
Abandon respiration, accept termination
Dead, deader, deadest
Dead to their cries, deader veils 'pon our eyes, deadest dreams, now realized

(Solo - Matt)
(Solo - Sebastian)

Dead, deader, deadest
Scorning existence, pursuing excresence
Dead, deader, deadest
Forsaking sentience, embracing pestilence
Dead, deader, deadest
Abandon respiration, accept termination
Dead, deader, deadest
Dead to their cries, deader veils 'pon our eyes, deadest dreams, now realized


GRUESOME

4. A MIND DECAYED

Unnatural experiments reveal
An otherworldly dimension of death
Unleashing oozing, lurking monsters
Who slash your senses and your flesh
Dragged back through the portal
Experience things far beyond your ken
Now a twisted mass of flesh and blood
No longer human, now you're one of them

Desire made flesh
Life becomes death
Man becomes something more
Faces melt to gore

Perceive a new reality
Dimensions of pleasure and pain
Horrifying worlds beyond
The realms of the sane
Your skull bursts open, now it's so clear
A hunger for blood, flesh and brain
Sense their emotions, feed on their fears
The ones you once called friends, are now such easy prey

From within the mind to beyond the grave
Scream in horror, but you won't be saved
Now he feasts on his human prey
Victims of a mind decayed

Lead - Gus
Lead - Dan

Driven beyond madness
A creature that feeds on the mind
Indulging grotesque bloodlust
The greatest pleasure you'll find
Seeing in new dimensions
New dimensions of gore
He stalks his prey voraciously
A hideous creature forevermore

Desire made flesh
Life becomes death
Man becomes something more
Faces melt to gore

Perceive a new reality
Dimensions of pleasure and pain
Horrifying worlds beyond

The realms of the sane
Your skull bursts open, now it's so clear
A hunger for blood, flesh and brain
Sense their emotions, feed on their fears
The ones you once called friends, are now such easy prey

From within the mind to beyond the grave
Scream in horror, but you won't be saved
Now he feasts on his human prey
Victims of a mind decayed


5. LED INTO THE DARK

Descend to a domain of death
Accursed, spectral realm
Set foot into this haunting world
A glimpse of future hell

No way back, they lead you on
To gaze into their mirror
Look upon your corpse-to-be
Destiny now clear

Haunting voices calling you
Led into the dark passage
Through their darkened rooms
Led into the dark

Murders of long ago
Whose victims can't know peace
Around you ghastly vapors flow
The forms of the deceased
Decapitated, formless ghouls
Tormenting apparitions
Laughing at you mortal fools
And all your superstitions

Lead - Dan
Lead - Gus

The graveyard just outside the walls
The last stop on this tour
An empty gravesite waits for you
Your future place assured

No way back, they lead you on
To gaze into their mirror
Look upon your corpse-to-be
Destiny becomes clear

Haunting voices calling you
Led into the dark passage
Through their darkened rooms
Led into the dark

Murders of long ago
Whose victims can't know peace
Around you ghastly vapors flow
The forms of the deceased
Decapitated, formless ghouls
Tormenting apparitions
Laughing at you mortal fools
And all your superstitions
