Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Awakened by the sound of footsteps
An awful feeling something's wrong
Nightmare emerges from the darkness
Shrieks of horror inside these walls
The heart is pounding, try to escape
Bony hands scratch and claw
The acrid stench of death surmounting
Survival tactics initiate
[Chorus]
Stay alive
Grotesque, morbid threat
Don't want to die
Dead alive
From the dirt, they rise
To eat the living
[Verse 2]
In search of weapons for protection
Anything that might kill these things
An axe, a knife, a machete
Only defense, start butchering
Without thought, they are hacked to pieces
Barbaric brutality won't stop
Heads and limbs fly in all directions
Invasion will end in death again
[Chorus]
Stay alive
Grotesque, morbid threat
Don't want to die
Dead alive
From the dirt, they rise
To eat the living
[PreChorus]
Traumatized
Seeing only red
Through bloodshot eyes
Purify
All these wretched beasts
Saved from demise
[Chorus]
Chaos horrific
The undead walk the earth
Chaos horrific
In search of brains and flesh
Chaos horrific
Carnivorous attack
Chaos horrific
Apocalyptic plight
[Bridge]
Self-exhumed zombies set to consume life
Conquer these corpses, eternal fight
[Bridge]
Infinite dead
Infinite dread
[Bridge]
Self-exhumed zombies set to consume life
Conquer these corpses, eternal fight
[Bridge]
Infinite dead
Infinite dread
[Chorus]
Stay alive
Grotesque, morbid threat
Don't want to die
Dead alive
From the dirt, they rise
To eat the living
[PreChorus]
Traumatized
Seeing only red
Through bloodshot eyes
Purify
All these wretched beasts
Saved from demise
[Chorus]
Chaos horrific
The undead walk the earth
Chaos horrific
In search of brains and flesh
Chaos horrific
Carnivorous attack
Chaos horrific
Apocalyptic plight
