Wild fear unknown to the tame
Makes the blind dog kiss the pine
While whispering to the goat
Shine love onto the rock

Sing the song of the dead
And watch as the skin bruises
Rise upon belief and tame the wild
Live upon the cool black fear

So watch as I end my madness one foul sweep of a towel
Destroys the memories of the sane
Tames the wild thoughts of the insane

Ask why you must endure
Ask why you must go on
Ask why you must live the life of the undead
For it is to die the life of the living
