[Intro] The wind crawled through the graves that night, The moon was pale, no stars in sight. Church bells tolled for the damned and the dead, As cold hands clawed from their earthen bed. [Verse 1] We heard the scratching under the ground, A hollow moan was the only sound. Then came the rot, the stench of decay, As the dead rose up to hunt their prey. [Chorus] That horrendous day — when the dead came alive, When the hungry tore through the ones who’d survived. The silence was shattered by screams in the rain, And the world we knew was never the same. [Verse 2] Their eyes were empty, their teeth were red, They dragged their feet where the children fled. Old Sheriff Clay took aim at their heads, But you can’t stop death — it never bled. [Bridge] The preacher fell with a prayer on his tongue, Bitten and turned before the final song. The choir burned as the church gave way, And angels turned their backs that day. [Chorus] That horrendous day — when the dead came alive, When the hungry tore through the ones who’d survived. The silence was shattered by screams in the rain, And the world we knew was never the same. [Verse 3] I saw my brother with a fevered grin, Skin all grey and bones too thin. He reached for me with a bloodstained hand, And I put him down where we used to stand. [Pre-Chorus] The fire won’t fade, the plague won’t rest, The dead don’t sleep — they tear through chests. One last breath, one last pray, Before the darkness takes it all away. [Chorus] That horrendous day — when the dead came alive, When the hungry tore through the ones who’d survived. The silence was shattered by screams in the rain, And the world we knew was never the same. [Outro] The town lies quiet, the night’s grown still, The dead walk on with a mindless will. No saints left to light the way… Forever bound to that horrendous day.
