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, death’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

Death is just the Beginning
Defy fate, reanimate
Death is just the beginning
Defy fate, reanimate
The epitaph wiped clean
The tombstone ground up
Death is just the beginning
Defy fate, reanimate
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 met 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

Death is just the Beginning
Defy fate, reanimate
Death is just the beginning
Defy fate, reanimate
The epitaph wiped clean
The tombstone ground up
Death is just the beginning
Defy fate, reanimate
No need for eulogies
Hymns never sung

Death is just the Beginning
Defy fate, reanimate
Death is just the beginning
Defy fate, reanimate
The epitaph wiped clean
The tombstone ground up
Death is just the beginning
Defy fate, reanimate

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

There stands a dark monument
Born of unfortunate events
A house of myth rumored near
A lost road leading north of here

I tried to warn you, I swear I did!

Tenanted by fear and gloom
Despair calls out from every room
Walls that drip with hopelessness
Filled with an air of malevolence

I tried to warn you, I swear I did!

Abandon hope
All who enter here
Those who ignored
Simply disappeared

They’re gonna have to
Scrape you off the walls
That’s if they even
Find your body at all

They’re gonna have to
Scrape you off the walls
That’s if they even
Find your body at all

All that you will find, is hell waiting inside

A blackness lives inside this place
An evil you’ll learn to embrace.
It will lure and calm your doubt
Eat you alive and spit you out.

I tried to warn you, I swear I did!

Abandon hope
All who enter here
Those who ignored
Simply disappeared

They’re gonna have to
Scrape you off the walls
That’s if they even
Find your body at all

They’re gonna have to
Scrape you off the walls
That’s if they even
Find your body at all

All that you will find, is hell waiting inside

Inside Of This Place
Death Will Not Come Quickly

It Won’t Leave A Trace
Death Will Not Come Quickly

It Is Much Too Late
Death Will Not Come Quickly

You Have Sealed Your Fate
Death Will Not Come Quickly

All that you will find, is hell waiting inside

There is something strange down by the cemetery
Emptying the graves left and right
Ghastly schemes and ghoulish undertakings
Underneath the pale moonlight

Curse the day they invented the crematory
What a foolish waste of potential sales
It’s a damn shame to discard inventory
Think outside the box if all else fails

Death is my business and business is good!

There’s a grave robber at large
Ripping bodies from hallowed ground
Desecrate those who rest in peace
There’s profit to be made from the recent deceased

Skeletal remains are safe in the ossuary
They’re quite stale and not worth a dime
Don’t think me a fiend, this is strictly monetary
Fortune calls and I’ll answer this time.

In this occupation timing is instrumental
A matter of hours can plummet the price
The fact it’s a crime is simply incidental
Freshness is key, nothing else will suffice

Death is my business and business is good!

There’s a grave robber at large
Ripping bodies from hallowed ground
Desecrate those who rest in peace
There’s profit to be made from the recent deceased

Midnight meetings inside the graveyard
Crunching numbers, breaking the earth
I’m not afraid to get my hands dirty
Even if things seem a bit perverse

Though these deeds weigh heavy on my soul
I will no doubt sleep perfectly sound
While you struggle to keep your conscience
A garden of riches rots in the ground

Death is my business and business is good!

There’s a grave robber at large
Ripping bodies from hallowed ground
Desecrate those who rest in peace
There’s profit to be made from the recent deceased

Death is my business and business is good!

The dark carnival is in town
You better be ready
Just follow the parade
Of dancing skeletons
Full of ghoulish delights
Around every corner
Don’t tell your parents you’re here
They will soon be mourners

Welcome to the lower birth
The greatest show unearthed
We appear without a sound
The darkest show around
We will leave you in a daze
Madness, murder, dismay
We will disappear at night
With blood on the concrete

I will be your ticket taker
Come inside it’s a dream
Enter the funhouse of mirrors
No one can hear you scream
We can supply anything
That your heart desires
But the consequences
Will surely be dire

Welcome to the lower birth
The greatest show unearthed
We appear without a sound
The darkest show around
We will leave you in a daze
Madness, murder, dismay
We will disappear at night
With blood on the concrete

Come inside
For the ride
Your deepest darkest fears

The best night
Of your life
You’re never leaving here

The unknown
The unseen
Is what you’re gonna find

Witness this
Witness that
Until you lose your mind

Welcome to the lower birth
The greatest show unearthed
We appear without a sound
The darkest show around
We will leave you in a daze
Madness, murder, dismay
We will disappear at night
With blood on the concrete

Can I pose a question
How do you kill what is dead
I just shoot from the hip
And aim for the head

He used to be your friend
That was another life
With a single bullet
We’re gonna blow his mind

With a loaded gun
And a steady hand
We just might live through this
Aim for the head
If you kill the brain
Then you kill the ghoul
And it’s motor functions
Aim for the head

Nail up all the windows
They’ve come to settle a score
Make sure no chamber is bare
They’re right outside the door

This is a test of your strength
And your will to survive
If you give up now
They’re gonna eat you alive

With a loaded gun
And a steady hand
We just might live through this
Aim for the head
If you kill the brain
Then you kill the ghoul
And it’s motor functions
Aim for the head

Listen to me
Listen to me
Listen to me
Save yourself

There is no more
There Is no more
There Is no more
Room in hell

I will help you
I will help you
I will help you
Understand

Come with me now
Come with me now
Come with me now
Take my hand

We can make it
We can make it
We can make it
Through this

With a loaded gun
And a steady hand
We just might live through this
Aim for the head
If you kill the brain
Then you kill the ghoul
And it’s motor functions
Aim for the head

Is this the end of the world
Or just the start of the fight
You better heed my warning
And watch out for their bite

They have a taste for your flesh
And for your blood they will crave
They’re coming for us now
From beyond the grave

Ounce for ounce
Blood for blood
You get a taste and it’s never enough

Pound for pound
Eye for an eye
You get the thirst and it never runs dry

Piece by piece
Bite by bite
Relish the flavor and swallow your plight

Inch by inch
Slice by slice
Dress your guest and season with vice

Let me clarify before we begin
Am I getting under your skin
Your disposition seems a trifle bland
It’s time you learned how to serve man

Pinch by pinch
Dash by dash
Braise the passe and devour the past

Day by day
Night by night
Prepare the course and savor the spice

Let me clarify before we begin
Am I getting under your skin
Your disposition seems a trifle bland
It’s time you learned how to serve man

Let me clarify before we begin
Am I getting under your skin
Your disposition seems a trifle bland
It’s time you learned how to serve man

I forever dream within a dream
Of a certain city in the sea
As I walk the valley of unrest
Behind this mask of crimson death

I long for a loss of breath
And a most dire predicament
Murders in the rue morgue
Silence and shadow’s what I adore

I can’t explain Just how it feels
The thought of my premature burial
Inside this oblong box I lie
With the hopes i’ll be buried alive

The oval portrait upon the wall
Will someday cause this house to fall
The power of words left unsaid
As I join the spirits of the dead

I can’t explain Just how it feels
The thought of my premature burial
Inside this oblong box I lie
With the hopes i’ll be buried alive

Well, I’m the man who’s used up
Washed up
Bricked up

Descent into maelstrom
Bedlam
Redrum

Bet the devil my head
Misled
Bloodshed

Heart under the floorboards
Beats for
Lenore
Nevermore

I can’t explain Just how it feels
The thought of my premature burial
Inside this oblong box I lie
With the hopes i’ll be buried alive

Gotta run away
Try to get away
Gotta run away
Try to get away

If you ever want to see your daughter again
And every little thing goes according to plan
Don’t do anything that you think you’ll regret
Or you’ll have to check the mail for your daughter’s head

I’m keeping her bound and gagged
Her clothes soaked in gasoline
Hands tied behind her back
Where no one can hear her

Gotta run away
Try to get away
Gotta run away
Try to get away

Listen up now, I won’t repeat myself
This is how everything is gonna go down
When you make the drop, you better be by yourself
It could be detrimental to your daughter’s health

I’m keeping her bound and gagged
Her clothes soaked in gasoline
Hands tied behind her back
Where no one can hear her

Scream
Scream

You can run, but you can’t hide
You can run, but you can’t hide from me

I’m keeping her bound and gagged
Her clothes soaked in gasoline
Hands tied behind her back
Where no one can hear her

Scream
Scream

Look to the skies
Look to the skies
Look to the skies
Look to the skies

Something mysterious falls to the earth
Maybe a blessing, maybe a curse
At first we thought they meant us no harm
No sense of urgency, no cause for alarm
The brightest flash begins our darkest of days
Something sinister appears in the haze

We better face the facts
The plan’s been hatched
Duplicate the perfect match
Then body snatch
We better face the facts
The plan’s been hatched
Duplicate the perfect match
Then body snatch

Look to the skies
Look to the skies

In our sleep is when they enter our minds
Do their damage then they sever the lines
Overnight absorb our body and soul
With no emotion, no need for hope
The one flaw they underestimate
They can’t get us if we stay awake

We better face the facts
The plan’s been hatched
Duplicate the perfect match
Then body snatch
We better face the facts
The plan’s been hatched
Duplicate the perfect match
Then body snatch

Beyond the surface, the plan is more devious
So be on the lookout for carbon copies of us
Beyond the surface the plan is more devious
So be on the lookout for carbon copies of us

First you give up
And then you give in
First you give up
And then you give in
First you give up
And then you give in
First you give up
And then you give in
First you give up
And then you give in
First you give up
And then you give in
First you give up
And then you give in
First you give up
