lyrics

Madness has fueled this hunger
They've clawed back to life
All the graves are freshly vacant
They shamble in the moonless night
Their corpses, black and bloated
Ignorant to their demise
They stare, harsh and soulless
With unforgiving eyes

They should have stayed buried
The dead rise up from the Earth
The same faces all returning
Sometimes, dead is better

The sleepers have awoken
A broken covenant
Servile to hidden masters
A flood of revenants
Unsatisfyingly devour
Prophets of the unmade
The end will not be painless
The living can't be saved

They should have stayed buried
The dead rise up from the Earth
The same faces all returning
Sometimes, dead is better

Some long forgotten meaning
Some feeling you can't shake
Their purpose here is judgment
They are a debt repaid

They should have stayed buried
The dead rise up from the Earth
The same faces all returning
Sometimes, dead is better
