The Living Dead

if we look inward we will soon discover
 a whole host of treasure to recover
 some have invested in images that plague the inner soul
 the are among us yet they are not of us
 they are the living dead with thoughts inside there head
 hiding out in the silence of the inner torment
 they can't help you cause they can't even help themselves
 there the blind leading the blind and soon will fall into a great ditch
 just like the night of the living dead
 there hearts are torn to self, sin & Satan
 eyes with spots having holes
 long hanging viscous fangs that bite dripping blood off of side
 they all run away & hide behind the false hidden garb of compromise
 can't they see through all those vain twisted lies
 does this come at any big enough surprise
 shallow peaks long in the silence of the underground
 demonic forces wrestling for there soul
 shallow pools of gloom in a saddening exploit of a soul vexation
 there afraid of fire I found that out
 there's a radio in the truck
 I jumped into listen to it
 there must have been tens of those things grabbing to hold on
 still we must be on are guard every minute of there tormented souls
 by now there are no more screams maybe 50 or 60 of those things standing there
 I just wanted to crush them scattered in the air like bugs
 a word to the wise always no where you are stepping
