Darlin I know we’re older
Than we were when we were younger
But we still have some life left in these bones
So take my hand and join me
Tonight out on the dance floor
It’s early yet we don’t have to go home
Remember when I met you
You were so young and pretty
And I was not half bad that’s what I’m told
The years have come and gone
But my love for you goes on
Who would have thought we’d get so goddamn old
So let’s dance like we danced when we were younger
Remember how we jitterbugged and twirled
We may be shuffling now like two old turtles
But I wouldn’t trade this moment for the world
So shuffle with me darlin in the moonlight
Hold me tight and don’t ever let go
I thank my lucky stars that you are my wife
The sweetest girl that I have ever known

They took us to the internment camps
Big brothers re-enlearnment camps
‘cause we wouldn’t take the vaccine
Their Kool Aide suicide
And when it all done hit the fan
They locked us in they up and ran
We watched through the fence
As the dance began outside
When we finally got that fence down
It was too late for my hometown
I couldn’t find nobody
That survived those first few nights
Just hungry shufflers stumbling
And distant gunfire rumbling
As the sickness kept on spreading
Out toward those city lights
We’ll be dancing like Saint Vitus
With seven angels in his cell
But our angels won’t be Heaven-sent
They’ll boil straight up from Hell
Once the hunger gets inside us
Fire burns inside our head
Our bones’ll crick when we get the sick
And we’ll dance among the dead
The stench of the decaying
A billion maggots feasting
The dead are slowing down now
They’re rotting on their feet
Just static on the radio
Skies black with fattened crows
What will the shufflers do
When there’s no one left to eat
Well I wonder how much time I’ve got
Before I join this sorry lot
If God is really coming
I hope He gets here pretty quick
‘cause so far the devil’s winning
Just look at all them corpses grinning
I best be heading down the road
‘fore my bones begin to crick
‘fore my belly gets the sick
Before my body....... starts to dancing

Can Anybody Tell Me?

Can anybody tell me
What happened to the trees
Do they have some kind of disease
Why are they so bare
Can anybody tell me
Why the black planes keep on flying by
And what they’re spraying in the sky
Does anybody know
Can anybody tell me
Why the sun don’t shine no more
The way it used to shine before
When I was a little boy
Can anybody tell me
Why the rain burns my skin
Why we have to stay in
Why can’t we go outside
Can anybody tell me
What happened to my family
What happened to my sanity
What happened to my friends
Can anybody tell me
Why the dead just won’t stay dead no more
Why’s my head so goddamn sore
Why do my bones ache so
Can anybody tell me
Why they’re eating people in the street
Why do the dead smell so damn sweet
Did I wake up in Hell
Can anybody tell me
If this nightmare’s ever gonna end
Will I ever see her face again
Will I taste her skin no more
Can anybody tell me
Has God forsaken everyone
Was the blood and body of his only Son
all given up in vain

FRANKIE GOT BIT TODAY
Frankie got bit today
Now he won’t ever be OK
Frankie got bit
It’s all gone to shit
He got bit today
Frankie got bit today
Now he ain’t got a chance
He let down his guard
in the graveyard
And soon he’ll do the shuffle dance
Frankie got bit today
He’s already turning cold
He ain’t got much time
‘fore he loses his mind
And the hunger takes it’s hold
So I’m setting him free where the road turns to dirt
Where nobody comes around
I should put a couple in his brain
But I can’t bear to put him down
Frankie brother we did our best
When the dead spilled up from Hell
It won’t be long I’ll see you soon
Until then shuffle well

BURY ME DEEP
Bury me deep so I come back no more
Bury me deep so I come back no more
Don’t wanna come back been back too many times before
Put my head and body in separate holes
Put my head and body in separate holes
Bury me deep and pray for my lost soul
Bind my hands and feet with bailing wire
Bind my hands and feet with bailing wire
Cut my heart out and throw it in the fire
Cover up my grave with a ton of stone
Cover up my grave with a ton of stone
Make sure I’ll spend forever all alone
Bury me deep beyond the Devil’s spade
Bury me so far down beyond old Scratch’s spade
So far down even the worms cannot invade
Bury me deep so I won’t come back again
Make damn sure that I won’t come back again
Let me rot down there forever with my sins
Bury me deep and cover me with lime
A hole out of which I can never climb
So deep I’ll be there till the end of time
Bury me deep so I come back no more
Bury me deep so I come back no more
Don’t wanna come back been back too many times before
Don’t wanna come back been back too many times before

DINNERTIME
Oh it’s dinnertime
It’s dinnertime
Half past sinner time
There’s no repenting now........
Oh it’s dinnertime
Yeah it’s dinnertime
Half past sinnertime
For this God forsaken town....
Looking out my cell
The feasting has begun
The dead come up from Hell
Nowhere left to run
Don’t waste your time on prayin’
The devil’s come to town
You best pick up that shotgun
And put that Bible down
‘cause it’s dinnertime....
This town is finally getting
All the Hell that it deserves
The dead are back and hungry
And dinner has been served
You’ll be crying for your momma
While she’s chewing through your face
Watch out for your sweet heart
She wants more than just a taste
Oh it’s dinnertime
It’s dying time

LET ME HELP YOU WITH THE PAIN
The end is coming soon my darlin’
I wish that I could take your place
The sick is deep inside you changing
Raw flesh is all you long to taste
Let me help you shake the Devil
I’ll help you step into the light
With just one swing of this here shovel
Everything will be alright
Let me help you with the pain
Let me wipe away your tears
The sick is burning in your brain
I’m here to help you please don’t fear
By now you must be feeling hungry
By now your throat it must be dry
I see you looking at me funny
Can’t stop no matter how you try
Just close your eyes it will be over
I’ll pull your soul back up from Hell
Let me help you with the pain
Let me help you with the pain...

PLEASE DON’T DO IT YET
Please don’t do it yet
Let me stay a little longer
I’m starting to forget
Everything about this place
A little bit more time
Before you send me to forever
Please don’t do it yet
Let me linger on your face
Hold my hand once more
Before I step into the darkness
Hold my hand once more
Hold my hand and say goodbye
Look into my eyes
And know that I’ll love you forever
Look into my eyes
And know my darlin’ that I tried
I guess it’s time to go
The hunger deep inside is burning
I can almost taste you darling
The sick is taking over me
There’s no time to regret
Just press the barrel to my forehead
There’s no time to regret
Close your eyes and set me free

FLESHEATERS
What sins have we committed
What price must we all pay
The flesheaters are crawling
Up from decaying graves
I’ll never let them feast on you
They’ll never taste your skin
I hear the devil knocking
But I won’t let him in
The whole world is on fire
And the clock is ticking down
Block your ears no need to hear
Sweet Heaven’s dying sound
With all my might I’ll fight for you
Until my final breath
If they take me I’ll come back
And fight for you in death
I know that you are tired
I’m tired of it too
The fight is never ending
Just like my love for you
So close your eyes and sleep for now
I’ll wake you by and by
Sweet dreams now no more nightmares
Please darlin’ do not cry
They’ll never hurt you darlin
Left them nothing but your bones
Now we’ll always be together
You’ll never be alone
My strength is back my belly’s full
I’ll take us far away
Until the dead go back into
The ground from where they came

KEEP RUNNING
Just keep running don’t look back
Just keep running don’t look back
Remember what we told you
Remember what you learned
Just keep running like me and mommy showed you
Get to the hiding spot
And wait for our return
Run now children run and hide
Don’t wait for me just run and hide
Remember what you learned now
Remember what to do
Just keep running like me and mommy told you
Get to the hiding spot
And I’ll be back for you
Aim for the heads and keep moving don’t look back
Aim for the heads and keep moving don’t look back
Remember what me and mommy taught you
Remember always shoot to kill
Remember strangers mean danger
If the dead don’t get you
You know the living will
So just keep running don’t wait for me
Just keep running don’t wait for me
Remember how much your mommy loved you
Remember how much I love you too
Get to the hiding spot and wait for morning
If I don’t make it back
You know what to do

My Beloved
I dreamt again last night about you
I dreamt of everything we used to do
But I woke up and you and everyone I knew were gone
The dream is gone, the nightmare has come true
I called your name but you refused to answer
I searched but you were nowhere to be found
Just memories in my head of every word you ever said
God is gone the devil’s come to town
Where have you gone my beloved
Why have you left me all alone
This ache in my heart, sure to tear me apart
I’m sick, there’s a crick, in my bones
The stench of the undead is overwhelming
I know that I’ll be joining them one day
But I promised you I’d try/ though I don’t remember why
What’s the point of going on this way
I close my eyes and hear you say you love
I feel your gentle breath upon my face
And I can hear the Devil, he’s laughing in my ear
He asks me if I’d like a little taste

DANCE OF THE SHUFFLERS PART TWO
The freed the genie from his jug
And then they yanked that dirty rug
Right out from underneath us
And the whole world up and fell
Now they can’t put him back again
Looks like the final joke’s on them
How does it feel to be us?
Welcome to our Hell
Looks like forever finally came
We lost our spot on the old food chain
There’s no rest for the wicked
There’s no rest for their prey
Now the devil’s army’s coming
So I guess you best be running
Try to live a little longer
You can die another day
They’ll be dancing like Saint Vitus
While they’re feasting on our bones
God’s washed His hands of this unholy land
And He’s left us on our own
There’ll be no one left to guide us
There’ll be no more truth to tell
When they break the seventh seal
And they ring that dinner bell
They wanted to control us
We bought the line they sold us
But now they’re on the menu too
‘cause we all taste the same
when you sold us down the river
did you ever stop to figure
once you open up the gates of Hell
they never close again
As the flames of Hell grew hotter
They led us to the slaughter
As the dead began to dancing
Satan laughed and spread his wings
The earth cried as he engulfed her
With the smell of death and sulfer
And they feasted on the living
As that bell began to ring

Funny Feeling
Tired of the fight
Am I awake or am I dreaming?
I think I see the light
And then it fades to black again
A shovel in my hand
I wish someone would stop the screaming
Lord help me understand
What is wrong and what is right
I smell you in the air
I try like hell but I can’t find you
And I do not know where
Or why on earth you’d go and hide
And I cannot discern, what is real or imagined
I wish that you were here but I got a funny feeling that you died
I wake up from a dream
And wonder why I can’t stop shaking
The echoes of your screams
They seem to linger in the air
I’m calling out your name
Though I know you’ll never answer
Am I just going insane
Were you ever really here?
I’m walking with the dead
They seem unable to touch me
I’m lying in your bed
I feel you rotting at my side
What was that you said
On the first day that I met you?
I’ve been lost inside my head
But I’ve got a funny feeling that you died

WELCOME TO THE END
Welcome to the end of the world my friends
I know that you’ve been busy so glad you could fit us in
You’re here why don’t you stay after all it’s judgement day
Line up and pay for all your sins
Welcome to the end
Satan come up from Hell Just to ring that dinner bell
In just a little bit the main course shall begin
Man had his time now it’s the devil’s turn to dine
Pray all you want while they’re chewing through your skin
Welcome to the end
In the end all that you’ve got is what your arrogance has brought
In the end there’s just a hunger won’t go away
In the end it’s all for nought, you can smell your own body rot
In the end your decadence is just decay
Welcome to the end
God is gone forever/ Heaven’s closed it’s gates
A chorus of the damned begins to sing
Satan’s laughing now he spreads his wings
Once you had a lover/ Now it’s far too late
It’s time to say goodbye to everything
‘cause now the dead are dancing/they’re dancing on your graves
Yes now the dead are spilling up from Hell
The final judgement handed down/ Nobody will be saved
In the end there will be no one left to tell
Welcome to the end of the world my friends
I know that you’ve been busy so glad you could fit us in
You’re here why don’t you stay after all it’s judgement day
Line up and pay for all your sins
Welcome to the end

LAST MAN STANDING
Now I’m the last man standing
What price have I won
I meted out salvation from the barrel of my gun
I’ve buried all my loved ones
And now My work is done
The last man standing
I’m the king of the world
