Feast of the Undead

From soil and filth and death we rose
One eve to feast under the moon
Lurk in decay with flesh necrose
Take caution, you are not immune 

We are merciless, unceasing
From soil and filth and death we rose
Time ticks, our hunger increasing
Ever more as we decompose

Your eyes, your ears, your mouth, your nose
No quenching of our appetite
From soil and filth and death we rose
On this hallowed Halloween night

We hunt you in the street, your bed
As we reach out from the shadows
You’ll lose your mind before your head
From soil and filth and death we rose
