Cannibal Corpse

Exhume the rotted casket
Robbing graves
But not for wealth

Cloaked in moldy rags
Hunting dead
Decrepit things from Hell

Invade the sacred tombs
Search for food
Embalmed five days before

Ancient body stealers raid again
A fresh corpse beyond the door

Chorus:

From the ground they rise
Plundering the grave!
When the faithful die
It's them, not God, they meet...!

Consume the rotted body and hunt more
Craving maws ooze blood
Gray skinned coffinfeeders
Seeking carrion
Eat the old ones last

Fiendish ghouls are chewing
Scraps of meat
Found inside the tomb
Rot veiled messengers
From beyond bring the parish doom

Chorus

Unholy creatures swarming the coffin
Fighting for mouthfuls of flesh
Invading the tombs of the recently buried to feast

Starvation of aeons sated tonight
Foraging ghouls consume
Ancient hunger awakened again...!

Strengthered by blood the undead attack
Septic beasts from the grave
If living approach, they are devoured, too

Fragments of corpses nourish the pack
Fresh entrails they grave
The coffin is torn open,
The zombies start to consume...!

Chorus

Ah
