1. Zombie Apocalypse - Just Meat
I've been wandering around
This fucked ghost town.
A carcass. A carrion. Waste.
I left hope a million miles back.
I left hope dying by the roadside.
So my withered heart
Beat down, defeated
Plunges out of my chest
No trumpets as it drops to pieces.
Who else?
What else
Could I have been?
False iconoclast?
Prince of deception?
Christ for the future?
Or just another body?
Who else?
What else?
could I have been?
2. Zombie Apocalypse - God I Hope The Data Is Lying
Here in this house of endless bloodshed
There is no air
We never sleep
They smell our skin a mile away.
Shaken.
I am the ashes in ossuary
Careworn and lame
This threadbare brain
Sends only signals of decay.
If I
Can fall
To sleep
Don't dare
Disturb
My rest.
Because it's been so long since it was safe
So I wait here
Feeding on fear
With knuckles white and dripping red.
Shaken, I face defeat at my own hand today
Before the end
Comes from outside
I draw it from within.
The fog
Of war
Distress.
The signal
Repeats:
"S.O.S."
3. Zombie Apocalypse - Breaking Off Fingers
Dear destruction
I was tempted
But would sooner bleed to death
Before you got the best of me.
They're closer than they were before
I am surrounded
So do me in
You motherfucking coward.
Imprisoned by permanent horrors, I thrive
Betrayed of afraid or alone, but alive
Because and in spite of these scars, I've become.
I'm breaking off fingers, one by one.
(Breathe Deep)
And I know I'll fear again
(Drink Long)
But I know I'm here again
(Rest well)
And just like the last time
(Stay strong)
This won't be the last time.
Split my skull
My eyes glaze over
The gnashing sinew pops
And screams, but not me.
So have my flesh
Shred skin to smithereens
But you can't touch the core of me
Or anything it means.
No.
I wipe away all of the blood from my eyes
To see all your novelty nuanced with lies
In irons that wreak of your devious design
I'm breaking off fingers one by one
It's a hell of a time.
4. Zombie Apocalypse - Murder Be A Lady Tonight
She was revenge
Ripping
Through the night
We made a hell filled to capacity
And raised her hand to our throats
She'll walk the earth
Collect dues
From age-old debts.
She's gone cold
She still burns
Stumbling smashing
Hacking slashing
All women rise.
Every honored father
Every single brother
Every favorite son
Complicit in this terror.
Send them back to holy hell
In burning body bags.
Guilty.
One final fate
Cornered and castrated
Penance dispensed,
No pretty face.
She's not dressed to kill
But good enough
Murder be a lady tonight
5. Zombie Apocalypse - Tale Told By A Dead Man
Please, kind ferryman;
Death and pale horse
Grandfather
Those above, those below
I'm aimless and helpless and cold
And scared to death of life
As a dead man.
Eternity's a long time to wait for forever to end.
Oh dear reaper, are we not so grim?
Kill me. Claim me. End me. Revive me.
Oh dear reaper, won't you reap me?
6. SMP - From The Void
Fire in the sky, a sign from above
Noonday light dies, red sky dawns like blood
Symptoms unknown, no explanation
Your faces like stone, invasion's begun
That light in the sky is my soul
My destiny, I'm doomed to follow
I'm sentenced to wander below
Strange masters have taken control
From the void
They rule my soul
Eternal unrest, zombie astral
Perpetual undeath, an evil angel
Amnesia, eclipsing the mind
Domination complete, by alien kind
Master of puppets, remotely controlled
These marionettes, usurping your ghost
That light in the sky is my soul
My destiny, I'm doomed to follow
I'm sentenced to wander below
Strange masters have taken control
From the void
They rule my soul
That light in the sky is my soul
My destiny, I'm doomed to follow
From the void
They rule my soul
From the void
They rule my soul
Eternal unrest, zombie astral
Perpetual undeath, an evil angel
Eternal unrest, zombie astral
Perpetual undeath, an evil angel
7. SMP - Zombie Versus Shark
Nightmare grimace seen
Glimmering through swell
Shadow under water
Closer through his veil
Zombie deathfish stikes
Mutilating jaws
Automatic bite
Savage wounds are torn
Impossibility of death
Serried razor knives carve through putrid flesh
Hellish breakneck plunge back down to the depths
Rank cadaver resists with insane strength
Immolated in elemental wastes
Blind assassins draw close in death's embrace
To their killing compulsions eager slaves
Unrelenting hate, all-devouring rage
Zombie
Versus shark
Mindless mass murderers locked thrashing in the dark
Look at those soulless eyes
There's something dead inside
It's from hell
Back in for the kill
Dismemberment complete
Organs flowering
Flecks of shredded meat
Down into the dark
Twitching fragments sink
Writing body parts
Gnawed by sightless fish
Within the white belly of the beast
Severed zombie head laughs through shattered teeth
Malevolent mutant spirochete
Replicating with pathogenic speed
Now deep within this blood-pink sea
Stalks a deathless killer straight from your direst dreams
Zombie deathfish with microbe-strangled brain
Resurrected to kill and kill again!
Zombie
Versus shark
Mindless mass murderers locked thrashing in the dark
Look at those soulless eyes
There's something dead inside
It's from hell
Feeding frenzy
8. SMP - Funeral
Funeral
The last obsequious rites
With filial devotion commit this body to the night
Funeral
Mark this passing
Show your anguish
Cast your handful
On this casket
These eyes like sapless wells are dry
As flowers shrivel up and die
I've waited so long for this day
Spitting on your fucking grave
I've waited all this time in line and now I'm gonna take what's fucking mine
I will nail you down
Funeral
The last obsequious rites
With criminal intention erase this body from your life
Funeral
Mark this passing
Show your anguish
Cast your handful
On this casket
Recognize this
Familiar visage
One last caress
Unfinished business
You were like this when you were alive
You never let it lie
Even from beyond the grave
You drain my life away
I will nail you down
If it kills me
This is killing me
I will nail you down
If it kills me
You are killing me!
9. SMP - Nothing Tastes Like This
Do I see
And do I feel
And is this all real
Or is it just nothing?
Nothing more
Than physical
An illusion formed
By neurons firing?
No
Feelings
Just nothingness
No
Consciousness
Just hollowness
Do you dream
Do you percieve
Or does it just seem (to me)
That you are thinking?
Are you merely
Mindless machines
And is it just me
Here experiencing?
Monstrous figments
Eat my brain
I'm feeling insane -
But do I believe this?
Everything
We think / we are
Will now be devoured
By things with no existence
No
Feelings
Just nothingness
No
Consciousness
Just hollowness
Mind is machine
Nothing tastes like this
10. SMP - 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
