Last rights were given long ago to the corpse of man The awful ground engulfs the dead, so sacred and alone The world did spoil as their hearts grew cold And the weird were born What once was death now is horror lurking for a soul Lurking for a soul With this night the end begins, dark deletes the sun Broken crypts now tell the tale that death is growing strong Eternity seems close at hand as no one rests in peace A ceremony from beyond the grave the night of the deceased Night of the deceased, they've returned for us all An infectious scream rings through the air, A sound to chill every bone A distorted victim of the plague will soon feast with the dead In time they'll "turn" becoming I'll no longer brother man As guts of life and the macabre now decorate The grounds of earth The night of the deceased - casket monsters conquer and kill The night of the deceased - cemetery's no longer full The night of the deceased - cadavers marching side by side The night of the deceased - by mans creations we shall die Planet earth our battlefield the warm blood it stains the world The awful dead unlock the end Their empty graves and shattered tombs Cadavers marching side by side! By mans creations we shall die! Marching, stalking, the deadly aggressor seeks out your flesh Preying, decaying, your final vision will be your first death All of your life you've hid from the fears Of the haunting hands of death Clutching the past instead of the future now you'll know at last... What is death you ask? What waits for you? Unveiling the truth Distant, vision you've now been spotted and you will die Crying, dying, you'll now know the answer you feared To come true... Now you'll know at last what is death you ask What waits for you? Unveiling the truth Loss of sight loss of sound numbing pain takes over you Floating up and off the ground seeing downward overview Witness hell witness death instant nowhere nothingness Failing soul turning grey craving flesh yes! you have changed... And all through the night you can hear Their twisted awful screams! We! Are deceased! And because of you We are haunting this world! We! Are deceased! Forever we kill for the dead!
