Dead Is Better - Arsis

Dead as the widowing curse of the knife

Dead as the bloodless stare

Dead as the ashen praying for life

Dead as the fatal air

Screaming the rite in spite of the end, unhallowed

In spectral decay condemned, from below… below

Sometimes they breath, sometimes they roam

Every man buries their own

Sometimes they speak in death divine

Sometimes dead is better than alive

Dead as the pallid artists' disguise

Dead as the mourners' prayer

Dead as the flesh awaiting demise

Dead as the Charon fare

Screaming the rite in spite of the end, unhallowed

In spectral decay condemned, from below… below

Sometimes they breath, sometimes they roam

Every man buries their own

Sometimes they speak in death divine

Sometimes dead is better than alive

Enshroud and await the hour

Beneath the ground has soured

Shadowless souls devour as the spell benights the dead

Sometimes they roam

Every man buries their own

Sometimes they speak in death divine

Sometimes dead is better than alive
