The Undead lyrics

They shuffle nearby

Some quiet as death

Alive, but surely dead

Some screaming as war

Banchees of battle

Until tranquilized

Voiceless or frantic

Listless or stilled

Sometimes sounds,

Shaking, trembling

Muttering incoherently

Haunting me

The cost of war

Of barbarity in men

Spectral reality unwaning

Tucked away silently

That they do not haunt

Those who hate us

Some so small,

So innocent, owing none

But they paid in full

Where is justice beloved

Phantoms n'er to know

Condemned without trial

Their fingers point out

At the guilty unceasingly

Smouldering minds sleep

Hearts broken, scarred

They were no fanatics

They only wanted peace

The horrors that mamed

Visions of total loss

Realizing calamity

Unable to cope, to tame

The beast within, without

A jungleless wilderness

A cemetery is tranquil

But that is not here

For dead do not know it

And the living live in fear

Who then suffers so

When they saunter by

With nowhere to go
