There's a carrion curse forever haunting our souls Until the very day we're lowered in a hole At stygian shores we are doomed to run aground Waiting in fear as the divine spark is snuffed out No longer will you wander aimless through the afterlife With the caress of the casket holding you tight Were destined for worms when our lives conclude Last rites be damned, d**h's the beginning renewed Rise Lazarus rise Rise from the grave Dispel the sleep Inside your veins Rise Lazarus rise Rise from the tomb Regain your breath Forever exhumed d**h is just the beginning Defy fate, reanimate d**h is just the beginning Defy fate, reanimate The epitaph wiped clean The tombstone ground up d**h is just the beginning Defy fate, re-animate No need for eulogies Hymns never sung Mortuary science will be forever be eclipsed Funeral directors deprived of their scripts Denounce the arcane implements of the past Now that lifeless actors are no longer cast The final curtain call fills our body with dread It's a shame to expire when we meet our end Cease your offerings for the unfortunate dead Silence your prayers I'll give them new life instead Rise Lazarus rise Rise from the grave Dispel the sleep Inside your veins Rise Lazarus rise Rise from the tomb Regain your breath Forever exhumed d**h is just the beginning Defy fate, reanimate d**h is just the beginning Defy fate, reanimate The epitaph wiped clean The tombstone ground up d**h is just the beginning Defy fate, re-animate No need for eulogies Hymns never sung d**h is just the beginning Defy fate, reanimate d**h is just the beginning Defy fate, reanimate The epitaph wiped clean The tombstone ground up d**h is just the beginning Defy fate, re-animate Mortuary science will be forever be eclipsed Funeral directors deprived of their scripts Denounce the arcane implements of the past Now that lifeless actors are no longer cast
