lyrics

Bring out your dead!
Bring out your dead!
Are we instead
the ones who've bled?

I'm feeling quite dizzy
Life's got me uneasy
Here comes all the needy
Bleeding from their hearts

Running for cover, shunning our brothers
Stunning to see how closely we are to each other
Shut all the shutters, gut all the cupboards
Guard with your life now those things for you and your lover

Please don't let me die like this
Please let me provide my kids
With some kind of life guidance
So that they are not all frightened
Sometimes we are misguided
Wolves thrown to the lions
Roughs don't always have diamonds
Poseidon ends up on trident

It only feels like the dead are rising
When in fact it's just us joining them as we're dying

Bring out your dead!
Bring out your dead!
They must be fed
With all our heads

Grab all your shotgun shells
Unleash your inner hell
Until they all have fell
We will all survive

Nobody's comin'? Where is their drummin'?
Electric hummin' sends shivers straight up our backs
All of a sudden somebody summoned
us by the dozens to be the first to attack

Why am I knocking down doors?
Why am I the wild boar?
Why does it feel I've ignored
the reasons we were fighting for?
These vile things that I deplore
never had weapons they bore
What a stupid bunch of corpse
What was their plan to win before?

It only feels like the dead are rising
When in fact it's just us joining them as we're dying

This unjust win
Where by, where in
We've killed our kin
Hangs low our chin
But with some spin
We can begin
To change what's been
And absolve sin
Absolve our sin
Absolve our sin
ABSOLVE our sin
ABSOLVE OUR SIN

It only feels like the dead are rising
When in fact it's just us joining them as we're dying

Skulk, The Hulking New York, New York

We're so sorry you had to find out this way, but it's about to get worse. This satirically aggressive electronic music freak show has had about enough of it. Whether you're screaming blindingly along with him or screaming wildly against him, you just might be compelled by his oddly memorable beats. In the end it's all laughable. ... more
