They are dead but refuse to lay down

The living dead are all but in the ground

No sign of life in their eyes

One day bleeds into another

They never thought it would go this far

Their dying souls are being smothered

They feel the pain of the life that's drained

But can't escape the grip

And now they all pay with their lives

Wanting to live...

Wanting to die

It's just a part of staying high

Heed to the words that are being said

This is the fate of the living dead

I don't know why anyone should have to live like this

But I know the demon and I know his deadly wish

His only door into this life exist in your mind

Another drain to drive insane he will rob you blind

You don't quite die but you wish you could

Wanting to live...

Wanting to die

It's just a part of staying high

Heed to the words that are being said

This is the fate of the living dead

If seeing is believing

Then believe me when I say

I see the death and destruction

Of the world today

The demons must be stopped

To save the souls of man

This catastrophic nightmare

Is getting out of hand

He is here but you must resist him

Sent from hell the unholy assassin

His kingdom grows with each soul

He takes to the grave

Until the time when you fight or give in

Pray to God that you're not forgotten

Life is yours to do as your please

Don't give into the deadly disease

Why live life to die in pain?~

Wanting to live...

Wanting to die

It's just a part of staying high

Heed to the words that are being said

This is the fate of the living dead.
