Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Sirens choke in the choking smoke Blood on the windshield Engines stalled Storefront glass like broken teeth Dead in the doorway start to crawl Empty cradle in the subway car Jawbones working on a stranger's arm Streetlights flicker Turn to ash I taste copper I taste alarm [Chorus] The hungry dead Tear the flesh from the failing brave The hungry dead Turn this town to a shallow grave I feel their breath On my back as the sky burns red Run for my soul But the world belongs to the hungry dead [Verse 2] Boot prints smeared in a stairwell slick Neighbors pounding on a locked front door Someone's prayer cut short mid-word Teeth keep chewing on the tiled floor Billboard faces chewed away Traffic jammed with bitten hands I jump a hood Hear tendons snap Their fingers claw like rusted brands [Chorus] The hungry dead Tear the flesh from the failing brave The hungry dead Turn this town to a shallow grave I feel their breath On my back as the sky burns red Run for my soul But the world belongs to the hungry dead [Bridge] Crowded rooftop Nowhere left Rotting choir sings my name (hey!) I see my shadow stretch and split Am I prey or part of this game? If I get out What will be left Of the man that I used to be? Every scream I step across Leaves a little less of me [Chorus] The hungry dead Tear the flesh from the failing brave The hungry dead Turn this town to a shallow grave I feel their breath On my back as the sky burns red Run for my soul But the world belongs to the hungry dead (hungry dead)

metal, 70s doom metal stomp with twin lead guitars, male vocals: tar-thick riff at a crawling tempo, tom-heavy drums and rattling crash, bass glued to the kick. Verses stay low and ominous, vocal almost spoken over single-guitar chugs; chorus explodes with harmonized guitar lines shadowing the melody and stacked gang shouts. Bridge opens into a slightly faster gallop with a searing harmony solo, then drops into a half-time, neck-snapping outro., doom metal
