LYRICS: Night of the Living Dead [2010]

Night of the Living Dead

Disowned now, disavowed
Command of import changing somehow, in the sundown
They’ll drag her body through the streets now, to the impound
This mausoleum ride -

It’s all a game, the rules ingrained
Aggregate the score, I’m going back instead of forward
She cried so hard, the sky turned black
I willed myself a heart that would bleed and just attack in the night, in the night
Where the dead remember nothing and plead, I’m just reclaiming the right.

Disowned now, disavowed
Delay effective, stopping, shutdown. Turn the lights out.
As she lives the nightmare, we are hellbound
Remind me. Remind me.
Remind me next time, define abuse for you, abuse for you
Remind me next time, honey…

She burns through you, she burns through you
A spark to gasoline that’ll set the world on fire
Her flames diffused
Profaned, misused
Send a charge, a scion, to set you all on fire alive, alive
In the end, the scent of droning could sting and bite and moan in the hive
In the end, the scent of droning could sting and bite and moan in the hive

You won’t take me alive, I’m not dead, I’m alive
but I’ll live to regret this, oh…
It’s no word of a lie to admit or deny
that I love you and always will
And my sad crippled spine led them all in a line
just to take out the vertebrae that caused
Hurt to defile all the joy in a smile
that could light up a world left wanting…

She cried so hard, the sky turned black
I willed myself a heart that would bleed and just attack
in a stubborn march, a progress arc,
Cycles of contortion, depravity, abortion, aligned, aligned
Where the dead remember nothing and plead, I’m just reclaiming the right, the right
Where the dead remember nothing and plead, I’m just reclaiming the right.
Where the dead remember nothing and plead, I’m just reclaiming the right.
Where the dead remember nothing and plead, I’m just reclaiming the light.
