1. NECROMANCER

Genius
Corrupted by a dominating greed
A bored and disaffected mind that pays the old morality no heed

His studies start to take a darker turn
He fathoms secrets we weren’t meant to learn

Midnight lamp
Burns in the lab
Rotting corpse
Lies on the slab
Learning fast
Seeking, finding ways
‘til at last
He raises the dead from their graves!

“And who can withstand me now,
With all of the dead behind me?
Your rulers were once so proud,
But now they will kneel before me.
Obedience unreasoned, blind
A force of five billion zombies
The lordship of humankind
My destiny –
It’s my fate to rule the world!”

Scientist
Ambition warps his sensibility
Megalomaniacal streak
Emerges and asserts priority

But best-laid plans will sometimes go awry
Our anti-hero takes his turn to die

Ripped apart
Severed limb from limb
His black art
Cannot save him
Still they rise
Forced to second birth
Living dead
Will conquer the earth!


2. BLOODFEVER

Feeling fucked up since I got that bite
What in hell was eating that fucking guy?
Sweating like a killer in this horrid night
Feelings of foreboding stalking
Through my mind
Scratching at this freaking
Itch in my flesh
My brain is gonna burst out my skull
I feel like death
Feel like crawling out of my skin
Lie here and wait for the
Nightmare to begin

Now it’s getting worse, I’m starting to twitch
Frothing at the mouth like a son of a bitch
Stay the fuck away, that light’s too bright
The way I’m feeling now
Well I must have died
Burning like wildfire in my veins
Some of the things I’m seeing
Now should not have names
My sickness breaks into bud
Tasting the beginnings of a
Terrifying lust for blood

Blood fever

Driven wild by unholy thirst
Smell of blood making me go berserk
Brain now inflamed with unceasing rage
Come here my little darling
And I’ll eat your face
Fuck that shit I’ll take all you fuckers on
Slavering and raving like a human dog
Never felt so dead but I never felt so alive
This shit is blowing my fucking mind

Blood fever

Die

Blood fever

I am the fucking reaper


3. 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


4. ANTHROPOPHAGI

Now contemplate annihilation
Devoured by anthropophagi
Wild beasts will tear us into pieces
We must prepare ourselves to die

We shall be colonised
Unfeeling lustre of those burned-out eyes
Dehumanised
Despised

Slaves to a terrifying hunger
Humid night air throbbing
With their brutish cries

Arising from the heart of darkness
Mongrel descendants of your crime
Blood-covered masks like savage totems

We shall be colonised
Unfeeling lustre of those burned-out eyes
Dehumanised
Despised

Out in the wastes beyond the chain-link
These ragged millions wait their time
Fell devils marked by this possession
Blackened masses of the zombified

Savages


5. ZOMBIE CREW

Back from the dead, goin’ to the show
I can’t feel my pulse, but I’m still gonna go
I’m clinically deceased, but I don’t give a fuck
I’m a flesh-creepin’ horror and I’m ready to rock!

Rockin’ with my friends the zombie crew ZOMBIE CREW
10,000 Volts of current fills the room ZOMBIE CREW
A sea of flailing arms, demented grins ZOMBIE CREW
Thunder fills the air as the madness begins!

A horde of gibbering, braindead freaks
In search of flesh we walk the streets
A congregation of the slain
I’m gonna eat your brain!

Do the zombie-shuffle like an old-school ghoul
We’re the backups from beyond, we’re the cannibal crew
We’re the rockin’ resurrected and we’ve come for your head
Let’s party like we’re fuckin’ dead!
Three weeks dead, you smell like shit
We’re the monsters of the mosh, demons of the pit
This night was made for us, we’re the living dead
I’m gonna eat your fuckin’ head!

We’re rockin’ to some red-hot lixx
And fleeing from those redneck hicks
Suffering this post-mortal pain
I’m gonna eat your brain!

Do the zombie-shuffle like an old-school ghoul
We’re the backups from beyond, we’re the cannibal crew
We’re the rockin’ resurrected and we’ve come for your head
Let’s party like we’re fuckin’ dead!
Three weeks dead, you smell like shit
We’re the monsters of the mosh, demons of the pit
This night was made for us, we’re the living dead
I’m gonna feast upon your heart and eat your fuckin’ head!

Back from the dead, goin’ to the show
I can’t feel my pulse, but I tell you mom I’m gonna go
I’m clinically deceased, but I don’t give a fuck
‘Cause I’m a flesh-creepin’ horror and I’m ready to rock!

Rockin’ with my friends the zombie crew ZOMBIE CREW
10,000 Volts of current fills the room ZOMBIE CREW
A sea of flailing arms, demented grins ZOMBIE CREW
Your chances of survival could be slim!

ZOMBIE CREW


6. SEVER

Will you always haunt me?
Shall I never lay you to rest?
Apparition fatal to me
Now and on the day when you left

Stillborn emotions turning blue
This memory I finger like a wound
I’m sorry baby but you have to…
I’ll take you in a death embrace
Slowly sucking all your life away
My love I will tear you apart again

So wield this brutal edge and set me free
This absence makes a carcass of me

I’ll wrap my arms around you
I’ll crush you close to my chest
I’ll keep you by my side
Now until the day of your death
But you don’t need me baby
This intimate disease
This shrunken grave of nothingness
I must become the beast

Stillborn emotions turning blue
This memory I finger like a wound
I’m sorry baby but you have to…
I’ll take you in a death embrace
Slowly sucking all your life away
My love I will tear you apart again

So wield this brutal edge and set me free
This absence makes a carcass of me

Sever

So wield this brutal edge and set me free
This absence makes a carcass of me
So wield this brutal edge and set me free
I would have killed you too if it had been me


7. BURNING THE BODY

“This body may incriminate
I move that we incinerate
It’s best that we remove all trace
Of everything that’s taken place
This dubious experiment
Whose ending was so violent
A chemical malign and dread
Able to revive the dead.”

“General, with all due respect
Your reasoning is incorrect
This rash decision must be checked”
BURNING THE BODY
“We have no way to theorize
What complications may arise
I vehemently disadvise”
BURNING THE BODY
“If we let the fumes escape
The problems that this may create
Aren’t easy to anticipate”
BURNING THE BODY
“These chemicals dissolved in rain
Could seep into a thousand graves
And trigger off a zombie plague!”
BURNING THE BODY

Son, what makes you think you oughta’
Disobey a direct order?
It’s my responsibility
To maintain total secrecy

Rain
Slashing down
Filling boxes
In the ground
What’s that scrabbling sound?
I don’t like this!

Watching the flames rise
Flinching as hope dies
Stoking the furnace
Ashes to ashes

Now it’s just too fucking late
Cadavers rise consumed with hate
Bodies soaked in strange compounds
The children of the toxic cloud!

Now down by the cemetery
A hideous emergency
Beginnings of catastrophe
BURNING THE BODY
On the freeway drivers panic
Zombies stumble through the traffic
Scent of brain-meat makes them manic
BURNING THE BODY
Now on every radio-station
Bulletins broadcast to the nation
Briefing on the situation
BURNING THE BODY
The whole world is convulsed in flame
And only we can take the blame
We’ve made a terrible mistake
BURNING THE BODY

8. THE UNCLEAN

Bullet-shaped visions ripping
Through your flesh
Endlessly reduplicate their
Messages of death
Silently festering, gathering in strength
Militia always on the march
Assault that won’t relent

We are the sick ones
Pushed to the edge
Patience of centuries
Awaiting revenge
Revolt of the lepers
We unruly dead
Resistance is useless
You’ll die in the end
Silently festering
Gathering in strength
Militia always on the march
Assault that won’t relent

Chaos unleashes filth obscene
Suffer the wrath of the unclean

Barbarian cadavers swarming out of hell
Ranks of foetid shadows
Number without tell
Unhallowed mutations
Propagate a sick new breed
Inheritors of nothing
Impure hordes of the diseased

We are the sick ones
Pushed to the edge
Patience of centuries
Awaiting revenge
Revolt of the lepers
We unruly dead
Resistance is useless
You’ll die in the end
Unhallowed mutations propagate
A sick new breed
Inheritors of nothing
Impure hordes of the diseased

Chaos unleashes filth obscene
Suffer the wrath of the unclean

Rising dead
Overwhelm
Rising dead
We can’t hold them
