Additional Information

Lyrics

The living dead have started speaking
And I can’t change their minds
So I won’t waste my time
Won’t surrender
But whatever mask they wear on the outside
There’s a chill set in their spine

Once the battle begun
Make them think that they won
See the non-thinking drones
The vampires sink their teeth in deep
But in the end they’ll have to sleep alone

Seeing red
An automatic reflex void of opinion
And it won’t make a difference
The living dead
When everyone’s distracted
Nothing in their minds
We’re just wasting our time

And in your head the anger speaks
It’s like a cancer
In your heart the soul will weep
For what you had
