[Verse 1]
They came up slow from the clay
Hands like branches, nails like blades
Mud in their mouths, graves in their teeth
Cold white eyes on the fields beneath
The church bell cracked in the rain
Dogs won't howl, they know the name
Every house got a shattered cross
Every porch got a fresh head loss
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear that drag in the dirt?
Hear that skin like burnt?
They don't sleep, they don't rot
They just keep coming back
[Chorus]
Corpses walk the earth
Corpses walk the earth
On broken knees they rise
And drag the night alive
Corpses walk the earth
Corpses walk the earth
Say my name, bite down hard
When the dead come for the yard
[Verse 2]
Found my brother by the ditch
Face gone pale, grin gone split
He lifted slow with a frozen stare
Like he forgot what got him there
Now the town gone hollow and thin
Every window lets the hunger in
They bang the door with a thousand hands
Like a storm made of ruined men
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear that drag in the dirt?
Hear that skin like burnt?
They don't sleep, they don't rot
They just keep coming back
[Chorus]
Corpses walk the earth
Corpses walk the earth
On broken knees they rise
And drag the night alive
Corpses walk the earth
Corpses walk the earth
Say my name, bite down hard
When the dead come for the yard
[Bridge]
No prayer left in my throat
No gold left in the old smoke
Just a blade and a beating heart
And a world that fell apart
They know my scent
They know my fear
If I go down
I'll join them here
[Breakdown]
Rise
Break
Drag
Take
Rise
Break
Drag
Take
[Final Chorus]
Corpses walk the earth
Corpses walk the earth
On broken knees they rise
And drag the night alive
Corpses walk the earth
Corpses walk the earth
Say my name, bite down hard
When the dead come for the yard
Corpses walk the earth
Corpses walk the earth
Corpses walk the earth
And the living won't last long
