Living Dead

Barren Cross

Take the book of life, he said, is his name to be read

The angel looked and nodded no, far be it that you should go

The throned one said why should I let you in, you said me good-bye

The human one said I don't know, but I'm not as bad as my friends below



(Bridge)

Why should I believe what you say

You destroyed your own life anyway

By not choosing, you've made your choice already

People don't make his mistake, you'll be sorry



(Chorus)

Break-out, the living dead,

Break-out forever

Break-out, the living dead,

Break-out of them forever, living dead



Make the kill between the eyes; the old man say good-bye

Shoot the arrow, kill the sin, give birth to life, get born again

Take the road of destiny that leads you past evil's tree

Drop the blade, no suicide can help you find a place to hide



(Bridge & chorus)



Look in the sky and tell me what comes to your mind

Look in my eyes, are these, the eyes of disguise

They feet they can walk but their eyes cannot see

Their hearts made of lead, it's the living dead



Spin the wheel of chance, what did you win

But this is no game show you're starring in

Life's but a burning blade of grass

Before you know it earth will be your past

How can I believe just what you say

When you destroyed your own life anyway

Your phone was off the hook, I could not reach you

And your will was not at home, I never met you



Break-out, the living dead,

Break-out forever

Break-out, the living dead,

Break-out



Gouge the eyes out of a wounded man, good is shout, evil stands

Happiness is now a tale of long ago, the people failed

Meanwhile believers live in heaven's peace, the master gives

Take the book of life, he said, I don't allow the living dead
