Come up from your graves in the lonely hills.
Don't break your bones and don't lose your head.
Walk slowly as if you're sailing the seas.
Wake up the town; shake up the town.
(x2)
And you groan like ships in the fog;
so weak, yet so strong.
And you moan like hungry dogs,
as you sing your zombie songs.
No room in the depths for you and your soul.
She took your old heart and she took your old song.
Forever walk the streets, mocking all life.
Still can't let go; you still can't go home.
And you groan like ships in the fog;
so weak, yet so strong.
And you moan like hungry dogs,
as you sing your zombie songs.
Your steps are so heavy; gravity's got an extra pull.
You need to go back, but you won't go alone.
Cos the dirt don't keep you down, you down!
Cos the dirt don't keep you down, you down!
