[ Intro ] [ Verse 1 ] It was all so weird, the weather stayed fine. Was the height of summer, '99. I was still so young, so many plans. Apocalypse don't give a damn. All happened so fast - without any sound. In the blink of an eye - we all fell to the ground! [ Chorus ] Undead rising! Undead rising! Can't be killed and can't be tamed. There is no bargaining with them. They want to eat our brains! So I see that this is 'It' - Guess I've one thing left to do... My sole remaining task - is to Last Longer Than You. [ Verse 2 ] They are so stupid, such dumb-shows. Oh so shambling, oh so slow. My first thought, this could be okay, They fall to pieces, just decay. Wow they keep on coming - do not need to sleep. We're not getting away - from all these creeps! [ Chorus ] Undead rising! Undead rising! Can't be killed and can't be tamed. There is no bargaining with them. They want to eat our brains! So I see that this is 'It' - Guess I've one thing left to do... My sole remaining task - is to Last Longer Than You. [ Bridge ] So I'm trying to remember those movies - or perhaps some book I read. I think the only way to defeat them - is to go for the head. [ Final Chorus ] Undead rising! Undead rising! Can't be killed and can't be tamed. There is no bargaining with them. They want to eat our brains! So I see that this is 'It' - Guess I've one thing left to do... My sole remaining task - is to Last Longer Than You. [ Outro ] Wait - what was that? Maybe you should go take a look...
