[Intro]
[Verse]
I entered the Kingdom of Death
The humid Catacombs below
I chose a skull and held my breath
And called upon its form to grow
[Chorus]
And they were afraid
And bowed down their faces
Why seek ye the living
Among the d**d?!
[Verse]
Out of six million dumped and doomed
To endless tourist gaze-and-gawp
Rubbled remains of folk who loomed
Over their day of walk and talk
[Chorus]
And they were afraid
And bowed down their faces
Why seek ye the living
Among the d**d?!
[Verse]
Perhaps my morbid make-believe
Sought power in will to bring to life
This dusty relic - and relieve
One’s fear of future sift and strife
[Chorus]
And they were afraid
And bowed down their faces
Why seek ye the living
Among the d**d?!
[Verse]
The skull stared back and soon the space
Felt unfriendly about my b***d
Would that d**d-men bury this place
And bless the bones with living good
[Chorus]
And they were afraid
And bowed down their faces
Why seek ye the living
Among the d**d?!
[Chorus]
And they were afraid
And bowed down their faces
Why seek ye the living
Among the d**d?!
[Outro]
