Centralia

[Verse 1] 1962, trash fire in the pit Ignited the vein, now it never quits Smoke crawls from cracks in the Pennsylvania black Roads split open, swallowing the past [Pre-Chorus] Basements glow, sulfur in the air Government knocked, but the damned don't care [Chorus] Centralia! Burn forever underground Hell is rising, hear the devil's sound Ghosts in the haze, souls that never found peace Trapped in the flames, on your knees! Centralia! The fire don't sleep Inhale the poison, buried deep Silent screams from the graves we can't see This town's a tomb, and it's claiming me! [Verse 2] Houses demolished, streets overgrown Few stubborn fools still call it home Cemetery stands where the priest cursed the land Molly Maguires damned by their own hand [Pre-Chorus] Vent pipes hiss like serpents in the night CO creeping, stealing breath and light [Chorus] Centralia! Burn forever underground Hell is rising, hear the devil's sound Ghosts in the haze, souls that never found peace Trapped in the flames, on your knees! Centralia! The fire don't sleep Inhale the poison, buried deep Silent screams from the graves we can't see This town's a tomb, and it's claiming me! [Bridge - Spoken/half-sung, building tension] Feel the heat through your shoes... The ground is breathing... It's alive... and it's hungry... [Breakdown - Heavy screams/gang shouts] BURN! BURN! FOREVER! No escape from the inferno! Sinkholes open, drag you below! Centralia owns your fucking soul! [Final Chorus - Even heavier, layered chaos] Centralia! The eternal pyre! Watch it die in the funeral fire! Smoke and ash, where the living expire... Centralia... Centralia... DIE!
