The Living Dead
The Living Dead Life is but a shadow rain or shine, A masquerade, and a trick of the mind. A life unspoken, a heart turned to stone, I’m moving my body, but my spirit is gone. Sunshine and smiles but darkness inside My smile seems hollow-no light within Dreams twist and tangle, like braids in a bundle Laughter that howls- like the wind...

The living dead
My time of death I don't quite know, I'm still breathing but I was gone long ago. Locked in the casket of a broken mind, If I go any deep I'm afraid of what I'll find. The skeleton of what I was was is gone a, corpse of the lost me at every new dawn....

She gets high on suicide Cos that’s the aphrodisiac Running through her veins At some point soon She’ll hear that tune Pushing her nearer To her doom The note is already in her head Recited from the living dead Goodbye world It’s time to go I never had a chance But don’t feel sorry for little me Cos this is the day I finally see Maybe next time...

Beware the Living Dead
From my window, darkness was quickly descending. Costumed creatures were walking about, pretending to be goblins and ghosts, expecting me to be scared and totally freaked out, for which I was not prepared. I'd been warned about evil spirts on Halloween night, and vampires rising from coffins to give my neck a bite, but no one had cautioned me, "Beware the...

I approach the hallowed eve of the living dead With spooky awareness of impending doom, Accompanied by intense feelings of mortal dread. I can’t get creepy silhouettes out of my head Mirrored in ugly scenes of descending gloom, I approach the hallowed eve of the living dead. Halloween finds me walking toward my bed, Hosts of wretched creatures entering my room Accompanied by...

The Living Dead
Please don't wait for me to feel it- let's just start from right here awkward, numb and full of fear it's now or never Feeling dry preserved, mummified like something long since dead flickers of life in my head haunting like a ghost Trance-like walk horror story style down the aisle children flee mummy mumbles, blankly stares heart and soul elsewhere Still I try to show up and care God forgive my dead soul! Unfeelingly, I believe- help...

The Living Dead
Held behind cold stone walls, In silence, marched to work. The shabby dressed walked prison halls, Hell waits for those who shirk. Breaking rocks or picking rope, Naught to eat save gruel and bread, Pointless toil, devoid of hope, Here worked the living dead. Mornings in the chapel praying, The gathered wincing at the drops, The hangman had the condemned swaying, Yet more unworthy souls now...

They say that they are Christians But commit all kinds of immoral act They say that they are Christians But they lie, steal, deceive, and sin They say that they are Christians But support lies and not the truth They are alive in the flesh But they are dead in the Spirit The Living Dead...

The Living Dead
My mind wanders to the stillness of a field where wild asters used to stud the grass with blue I seem to hear the echo of a voice Lamenting over the vast stretches where my thoughts cling Here, children ran and played and called each other yesterday and people sometimes lazed in the earth's firmness ...

Take away the safety net What remains only the weak kill and call themselves men A coward hides in the mountain of who they are behind their own curse justifying wrongs Tears falling each and every single day suffering innocence weep Self inflicted forged inside darkness Mortal sin The day will arrive when you have to...

Night of the Living Dead
Along with a haunting horde trick-a-treating Dressed as ghosts, ghouls and goblins, Dancing dwarfs and teetering giants, Despicable despots and snarling demons, Pirates, warlords and mercenaries, Blood-sucking vampires and wolverines, Dracula, zombies and Frankenstein, Skeletons, Spiderman and scarecrows, Walking deads or the Grim Reaper, Pretty princesses or the wicked witches, We too tagged along with this wild and weird looking carnival, Hiding our sinister thoughts and evil...

Rising from their graves, Breaking through the ground, Raised by radiation waves, They are coming to your town. Board up all your doors, Nail them good and tight, Or there will be blood and gore, By the end of the night. They tear down your walls, Break through your window pane, No one can help you at all, When they try to eat your brain. Those dead...
