1.	Don't Bury the Dead 04:49	lyrics	buy track
Voices inside the coffin I can hear the dead Revealing the ancient terror Herald of despair They arise Crawling from the grave I should know Don't bury the dead Whispers in my mind Terrifying my thoughts Now the time has come The call of the corpse They don’t rest The end is not a grave Rotten awakening Don't bury the dead They are coming Agonized screams Wishing the flesh of the living like me
2.	Let me Rot Alive 04:50	lyrics	buy track
Worms in my coffin Stench of rotten flesh Waiting for the end But I'm not dead Maggots in my face Devouring my eyes But I still see The procession of flies Hallucinations Or cursed not to die? My last damnation So Let me rot alive I push the rotten wood And rise from the dead But it can't be real Just a horrible nightmare Around me, corpses everywhere Around me…Am I dead? Reborn from the ashes Why am I here? I hope to wake up Of this disturbing fuckin dream Torment, suffering, desperation I just wanted to die Sickened by this world of shit But now… I will rot alive Hallucinations Or cursed not to die? My last damnation So Let me rot alive
3.	The World is a Casket 04:27	lyrics	buy track
Existing in a dying world Living ephemeral life Like everything that breathes One day will die There is no escape Truths to tell The world is a casket Why fool yourself? We get sick inside and out The flesh and bones Contaminating everything around A walking wound There is no escape Truths to tell The world is a casket Why fool yourself? The world is a casket A rotting mass grave The world is a casket the darkness… of the end Dead and buried in this land No use waiting for a spell Here all prayers end There’s no heaven and hell Be born grow and die Locked in this world Like a stenching casket To rest and decompose All meat becomes Pasture for worms You think you are blessed But you are the damned Existing in a dying world Living ephemeral life Like everything that breathes One day will die There is no escape Truths to tell The world is a casket Why fool yourself? The world is a casket A rotting mass grave The world is a casket The darkness of the end
4.	Cannibalized Exhumation 05:08	lyrics	buy track
Another cold night Inside the dark room The silence of the morgue Will be broken soon Scattered on the table Rotten human pieces Cold as marble That's all I need Rites of exhumation The process will begin The flesh of a corpse My deepest will To satisfy my hunger That's all I feel Dead bodies await To be devoured slowly Sanity is gone The work will be done Rites of exhumation The process will begin Guts blood gore In the Altar of consummation Ecstasy in rot Cannibalized exhumation Consuming human flesh Desired by me Pleasure and Necrophagy A disgusting scene My grotesque feast The coroner likes Raw meat Cannibalized exhumation The hungry coroner's way The cause of death will never matter Eat the dead again Guts blood gore In the Altar of consummation Ecstasy in rot Cannibalized exhumation
5.	Curse of Empty Graves 03:42	lyrics	buy track
An ancient prophecy Found on a tombstone Like a cursed tale Reveals what's coming Lifeless Awakening Curse of empty graves Hopeless Ending Curse of empty… Graves open They will inherit the land A march of the living dead This is beyond your understanding The silent cemetery Where the dead rest Nothing will be as before The curse was cast Lifeless Awakening Curse of empty graves Hopeless Ending Curse of empty graves The day of awakening is near Creeping and bringing the end Life ceases to exist Dead walking on this land … on this land A crowd of shattered bodies Will claim this place The world you know will perish And fall… from grace Lifeless Awakening Curse of empty graves Hopeless Ending Curse of empty graves
6.	Coffin Maniac 04:35	lyrics	buy track
A morbid fascination For the abode of the dead Consumed by voices Echoing in my head Like a hideous maniac A sinister collector Uncountable desire This is my obsession Walking through the tombs Repugnant and disgusting Desecrate another grave Nothing can stop me Coffin maniac… Coffin maniac Removing the remains I have what I want To satisfy my pleasure Straight to the point Coffin maniac… Coffin maniac Dragging along the path Another stolen coffin One more for the collection All smelly and rotten Coffin maniac… Coffin maniac
7.	Cold as a Corpse 04:41	lyrics	buy track
An ordinary person Living in society A shadow among us A beast of animosity Cold as a corpse I'll cut you to pieces Ripping apart In a rage unleashed Cold as a corpse Tearing off limb by limb Torn bodies Cruelty never seen Behind an anonymous life Consumed by the pleasure To hurt and kill Beyond all measure Cold as a corpse I'll cut you to pieces Ripping apart In a rage unleashed Cold as a corpse Tearing off limb by limb Torn bodies Cruelty never seen Looking for another victim Your pleas are in vain Wanting to satisfy my sins Enjoying your pain I'm cold as a corpse A serial killer instinct Tearing apart human bodies Killing without regret Cold as a corpse I'll cut you to pieces Ripping apart In a rage unleashed Cold as a corpse Tearing off limb by limb Torn bodies Cruelty never seen
8.	Symphony of Death 05:00	lyrics	buy track
Macabre experiments Altering the human form Birth of inhuman creations Victims of this insane process You die To satisfy the madness Human remains Left to rot Cruelty Pleasure and pain There is no escaping from laboratory You see Bodies and more bodies Twisted corpses Thrown on the ground human remains Infected now With the pestilence Consuming us all Rotten and totally deformed In a dying world Rites of morbid science In our cursed lives
