Doomsday, the end of days, the first day of total chaos on earth
Waking up in my dark cold coffin, this is the day of my second birth
Half rotten soulless being, starting to make it's way up from the grave
Driven only by faint memories, hunger for living and terrible pain

Up from the grave, coffin splinters piercing dead skin
From the moldy cave, pushing upward with empty grin

Just 30 years, the prime of my life was cut short by a coward´s hand
As soon as I get up from this grave, oh the payback will be so grand
4 weeks under the ground, oh how my wife and kids must have missed me
Can't wait to see their faces again, oh the homecoming will be so sweet

Up from the grave, coffin splinters piercing dead skin
From the moldy cave, pushing upward with empty grin

Maybe it's that the hell is full, or maybe it's the day of reckoning
Extraterrestrial radiation or some weird chemicals leaking... leaking!
What ever the reason is you can see the consequence everywhere
The dead are walking the earth, terrified people run and stare

Yesterday advanced metropolis, today just a necropolis
Running people, dead on the streets, rotting corpses now on the their feet

Half of the city is overrun by the decayed forces from the grave
From the city´s cemeteries, hungry putrid tidal wave... tidal wave!
Civilization falling in chaos, laws and rules of men are gone
Absolute horror and fear brought on by everywhere stumbling hellspawn

Yesterday advanced metropolis, today just a necropolis
Running people, dead on the streets, rotting corpses now on the their feet

Metropolis... necropolis... dead on the streets... dead on their feet...

Yesterday advanced metropolis, today just a necropolis
Running people, dead on the streets, rotting corpses now on the their feet

Slowly walking all the long day, attacking a few people on the way
Finally I´m at my home, no more alone I have to roam
At last I see my beautiful wife standing on our balcony
But for some reason she is crying, and with my own rifle shooting me... no!

For better, for worse -now I am cursed
For richer, for poorer -stripped of all fortune
In sickness and health -pain my only wealth
To love and to cherish -even from Hell banished

I try to form a sentence, but only growling comes out
Incomprehensible foul words with peaces of human flesh from my mouth
I feel the bullets hitting me, as I stand and drool on my own lawn
Finally I turn around, take a bullet in my back and stagger on... yeah!

For better, for worse -now I am cursed
For richer, for poorer -stripped of all fortune
In sickness and health -pain my only wealth
To love and to cherish -even from Hell banished

Till death do us part -no life in my heart
Till death do us part -no life in my heart
Till death do us part -no life in my heart
Till death do us part -no life in my heart

Take one whiskey, and you may start to see, how hard it is sometimes to be - a corpse
Take a second one, and you might understand, how difficult it is to stand - on rotten feet
Take a third whiskey, and you might feel, how much it sucks to be - the undead
Take a fourth one, and you may know, how much it hurts to let go - your life

Drink for the sorrow, drink for the pain
Drink for the loss and drink for the shame

Take one more, and you´ll know the truth, why this zombie is feeling so blue - inside
Take another one, and you´ll see crystal clear, all of the living people´s fear - inside
Take one more, and you´ll feel the pain, of rotting, it´s like an acid rain - inside
Take another one, and you will hear, the sound of a dead heart shattering so near - insane..

Drink for the sorrow, drink for the pain
Drink for the loss and drink for the shame

Retribution, payback time, retaliation, vengeance is mine
I will revenge my premature death, soon the man who killed me will take his last breath
Take his... last breath...
Just a faded memory in a dead brain, logical thinking just a frail chain
But still I am at the right place, go in through the window and into a craze

Life for a life, you took mine so it´s only fair I´ll take yours
Life for a wife, I lost mine so I´ll have yours as the first course

Rip, tear, shred and break, eat so much you can´t awake,
back into this state of a living dead, just in case I´ll bite off your head
Bite off... your head...
Gutted, torn, skinned, half eaten, only little bits left to put in a coffin
Gnawing on your severed limbs, your ugly features my biting trims

Life for a life, you took mine so it´s only fair I´ll take yours
Life for a wife, I lost mine so I´ll have yours as the first course

First rays of light from between the black clouds as the sun starts to rise
From the bullet holes I'm bleeding gastric juice and I´m infested with flies
Because it's morning a strange feeling is drawing me to a certain place
Inside a massive building searching for something, this factory is a huge maze

9 to 5 until you die, 9 to 5 a dead way of life
Why can´t you really live when you´re alive? 9 to 5 forced to live a lie

An absurd scene of the wretched and broken, everyone is coming to work
The whole place full of the undead, mutter, trudge and jerk
A sad sight of walking corpses not knowing why they are here
The concept of a working place, totally unclear

9 to 5 until you die, 9 to 5 a dead way of life
Why can´t you really live when you´re alive? 9 to 5 forced to live a lie

In the industrial district slowly breaking through a thin plywood door
First seeing drums and guitars scattered all around the floor
My former band mates still alive at our rehearsal room
They try to attack me but my brown teeth make them share my doom... doom!

Now the Rocking Corpses are coming for you, if you think you'll survive you are just a fool
We'll tear your flesh, we'll eat your brain, total horror, the undead reign

As I´m feasting on the bass player the other ones start to slowly wake
When they realize what they crave, they join me for a nice bassist steak
After feeding we take on the streets dragging guitars and cases of beer
Unholy zombie metal mob, Rocking Corpses are spreading the fear

Now the Rocking Corpses are coming for you, if you think you'll survive you are just a fool
We'll tear your flesh, we'll eat your brain, total horror, the undead reign

Hiding in the shadows you are trembling with fear
Is that the sound of a guitar that is getting near?
Suddenly the stench of death catches up with you
You freeze in horror, there is nothing left to do
Around the corner, followed by flies and roaches
appears your worst nightmare, the Rocking Corpses!

Now the Rocking Corpses are coming for you, if you think you'll survive you are just a fool
We'll tear your flesh, we'll eat your brain, total horror, the undead reign

Walking into my favourite rock bar, I see how much the decor has changed,
since the recently deceased woke up and came inside deranged
The floor is sticky with blood and guts, the walls are splattered red
Partly eaten body parts complete the scene of pure dread

We´ll raise the hell tonight, drink the bars dry, that´s right!
Burn down the house of god, paint the city red with blood

Blood yeah!

There's no bartender to give me a drink so I go and help myself
Beer from the cooler, whiskey and vodka straight from the shelf
There is no taste in anything and a corpse can not get wasted
But I´ll drink all night because the habit can´t be halted

We´ll raise the hell tonight, drink the bars dry, that´s right!
Burn down the house of god, paint the city red with blood

I met a beautiful girl in a bar, she had the nicest shade of grey and green
Someone’s intestine hanging from her mouth, she was a lean mean killing machine
We slobbered, mumbled horrid noises and stared with dead empty eyes
Staggered on the dance floor and were indifferent of our demise

Come on baby kiss me one more time, your breath beyond the grave is the sweetest crime
Let´s make love like only corpses do, peeling grey skin, oh I´m crazy for you

It was love at first bite, then she took me to her home
We were licking each other's faces and gargling blood red foam
Two happy necrophiliacs, rubbing slimy dead skins on each other
Cold cadavers having the most perverse sex, a ritual of forbidden pleasure

Come on baby kiss me one more time, your breath beyond the grave is the sweetest crime
Let´s make love like only corpses do, peeling grey skin, oh I´m crazy for you

Necropolis in flames, the dead have taken over the city
Only zombies on the streets, the sight is not very pretty
But now the last of men are starting to fight back
Organized and armed to their teeth at dawn they attack

Kill the dead, shoot them in the head, stop the disease, don´t let it spread
Eat the living, blood is spilling, fresh human flesh our stomachs filling

Yeah... hahaa... yeah...

This is the final showdown at the crack of dawn
Bullets flying everywhere the battle rages on
But when all the dead men rise again as walking corpses,
the chances for living men seem quite hopeless

Kill the dead, shoot them in the head, stop the disease, don´t let it spread
Eat the living, blood is spilling, fresh human flesh our stomachs filling

Oh yeah, yeahhh... come on... come on... Come ooon!

If you think about it the outcome is very clear
To realize which side will win you don´t have to be a seer
Sickness, horror, gore and pain, but what is the story´s lesson?
Walking corpses, living dead, the next step in evolution! Evolution!

Kill the dead, shoot them in the head, stop the disease, don´t let it spread
Eat the living, blood is spilling, fresh human flesh our stomachs filling

Come on body people! Dead! End! Dead! End!...

You asked for honesty
But bring brutality
Well now I'm done with you
You're not here to stay

You try to crush my spirit,
You won't succeed

'Cos I'm the one,
Who won't reveal

If you think I fear your words
You couldn't be more wrong

You'll get surprised for
Your thoughts are false

There is only one freezing thing
Like the dead body of yours

Now we're on the different paths
I'm on the ground, you're six feet under
Your cold heart didn't last
Now it's torn asunder

I thought my skin could not be breached
I thought my brains were safe
But now the maggots are crawling through in heaps

Walls of my coffin always felt like home
but now they’re shrinking every day, every night

Just a lonely corpse, lying on my back
Like so many, all the same
No company in death, only black
No winning hand in the big game YEAH!!!

WEIGHT OF THE EARTH
PRESSING DOWN MY CHEST
SOMETIMES, I CAN ALMOST, TASTE THE DECAY

I thought my mind could not be bent,
I thought I was too strong
I thought I could never understand, you proved me wrong

Wipe off the worms and head for open space
Breath in the fresh, cough out the dust, I’m on my way,

Just a lonely corpse lying on my back
Like so many, all the same
No company in death, only black
No winning hand in the big game YEAH!!!

WEIGHT OF THE EARTH
PRESSING DOWN MY CHEST
SOMETIMES, I CAN ALMOST, TASTE THE DECAY

Bright lights shine into your eyes
you keep your motor running
Take one more to make it sure
you won’t end up numbing

Everywhere you go
there's always grass or snow
Can’t hold back the speed on track
you’re going with the flow

Another stage another place
ALL THEY ARE THE SAME
From town to town the trip goes on
and you know the game you play

The moon shine's bright, it can make you blind
You’ve gotta keep on moving
Show must go on, you have no control
better keep on grooving

Another stage another place
ALL THEY ARE THE SAME
From town to town the trip goes on
and you know the game you play

As high as you can get
As high as you can be

Take everything you got,
fuck up or not
but a downfall there will be

”Last time we were here, we had a blast...
...and of course, we come again,
so let's have some rottin' fun!”

Hello! We're here again
On the ground to make you feel alive
It's only visit, when we're in the grave
To make you think we're not in your way

We still remember, where's the blade
The one you stabbed in our backbone
We're gonna find you, and eat your brain
You will get your own headstone

Here we are, dirty rocking corpses
We're gonna make you feeling blue

Can you hear, our raspy rotten voices
Come on and join the army of the doom

Unfinished business with you
You thought you got away from your crime
On your knees you're begging for mercy
And now you know you will die for a dime

We still remember, where's the blade
The one you stabbed in our backbone
We're gonna find you, and eat your brain
You will get your own headstone

Here we are, dirty rocking corpses
We're gonna make you feeling blue

Can you hear, our raspy rotten voices
Come on and join the army of the doom

The rusty car, stops at the station
Conductor waves a hand and yells ”all aboard”
Smell of coal, mixed with rotten flesh
Dusty roar, from the mouth of the soulless

”Living creatures!, take your seats!”
”All the dead, stay as you were...”

The train will be on time
So don't be late
This train with all the dead
Will be derailed!

Train starts to move, on the rails to nowhere
No chance to choose, direction or arriving time
Voice on the speakers, bubbly and coarse
Giving information, only for the hordes

Creeking rails, lost in the desert
Loose nails, barely holds together

Dead eyes open, with the smell of flesh
Grinning and drooling, hungry for the fresh
These rails will lead you to the place you won't believe
The fear, the screams The sound of dying dreams

”Buffet is open, enjoy your meal!”
Gaining more speed, rails start to squeal

The train will be on time
So don't be late
This train with all the dead
Will be derailed!

Now the train is falling down
They can't be detained
Now the train with only dead
Finally derailed!

At the border of lost memories, properly tranquilized
Seeing the truth or madman's fantasies, raising cups with the deceased

A modern shaman, medium, seer
Drinking with the dead
Clairvoyant, prophet, divine peer
Madness in blood spread

...visit me... ...from the grave...

Life is what you make it, mine i've turned into a gravestone
Eulogy, a sad monument of grief, something to hate alone

A modern shaman, medium, seer
Drinking with the dead
Clairvoyant, prophet, divine peer
Madness in blood spread

...come back... ...come back and haunt me...

A modern shaman, medium, seer
Drinking with the dead
Clairvoyant, prophet, divine peer
Madness in blood spread

I open my eyes, I can't see
The wall of coffin I feel

Suddenly I hear
Old gang upon my grave

I say those words
The words I used to say yeaahhh!

Count me in, Raise the glass
I'm ready to drink, and kick some ass

I'll let you in, if you can hold the secret
Because tomorrow will be, Another day in casket

I wanna get out, and hang with them
Out from this moldy cave

Suddenly I hear
The shovel hits the ground

I say those words
The words I used to say yeaahhh!

Count me in, Raise the glass
I'm ready to drink, and kick some ass

I'll let you in, if you can hold the secret
Because tomorrow will be, Another day in casket

Driving too fast, little bit too drunk
Driving with all the gear in the trunk
Towards the next city, to play another gig
Smelling like a skunk, sweating like a pig

NEW DAWN!!! OLDSCHOOL!!!
HORNS HIGH!!! THESE FOOLS!!!

are losing this day!

Drinking too much, driving too slow
Gas for the diesel, needing a tow
Hungover bastards, demanding a kill
Circus of groove, rolling on still

NEW DAWN!!! OLDSCHOOL!!!
HORNS HIGH!!! THESE FOOLS!!!

are losing this day!

This will be their last dawn
Hangover reaches a new high
Blood red sun, rising up
Birds falling from the sky
Skins starts to burn
In the end they're all gonna die

NEW DAWN!!! OLDSCHOOL!!!
HORNS HIGH!!! THESE FOOLS!!!

are losing this day!

Cold sweat in bed, the nightmare is over
After a few beers, the hangover's gone
At the local bar, a fight with the owner
Beat up and passed out on the lawn

NEW DAWN!!! OLDSCHOOL!!!
HORNS HIGH!!! THESE FOOLS!!!

are losing this day

I walk you down the aisle
Right through the crowd
You say ”I will”
I say ”me too”

I suck your soul
Or what’s left from it all
I bury it in me
So we can enjoy

Dead flesh, so hard and cold
Eaten fresh by maggots and mold
Your crazy grave dance turns me on
We're on a zombie-honeymoon

I necrofeel your love
And it’s alright
Necrophilove me
And it keeps me alive

I walk you down the aisle
Right through the crowd
You say ”I will”
I say ”me too”

I suck your soul
Or what’s left from it all
I bury it in me
So we can enjoy

Now we’re free from all our clothes
Let’s get free from our skins too
The grey skin is peeling off
We will get truly naked soon

The times when you need consolation
Are actually the times you feel yourself
In your own head it's all just emotion
Sympathy's a lie you thought will help

The fear, the rage, the love, the hate
Are just things you've been made of

Sometimes you're just far from grace
Death is something to die for!

The times when no one's by your side
Are actually the times you can heal
When you're strong again, you can grind
All the bullshit around you, and it's fine

The fear, the rage, the love, the hate
Are just things you've been made of

Sometimes you're just far from grace
Death is something to die for!

The race is on between the bad and the worse
Army of tanks, and battleships on course

Sound of the fighters, is raping the air
Invading the field and bringing despair

Rythm of the feet, the great infantry
Marching towards to inhumanity

Machineguns beside them, endless bandolier
Ground starts to tremble, the air is full of fear

The air is full of fear!

War for doom, Wall of fire rules
The warriors have nothing left to lose

War for doom, No matter what you choose
Raining bulletstorm, Death to those all

War for doom, Wall of fire rules
The warriors have nothing left to lose

War for doom, Death and destruction to all

Burning buildings, are falling to the ground
Innocents screaming, and loud is the sound

Machines of terror, covering the fields
Rivers of blood, are boiling on the streets

Smell of the powder and fragments of bombs
Chunks of the flesh, and pieces of the bones

Death is everywhere, resistance is near
Ground starts to tremble, the air is full of fear
