[Verse 1]
Revengeful corpse out to kill
Smell the stench, your guts will spill
Vomit for a mind, maggots for a cock
With his axe the corpse will chop
[Refrain]
Stare into his eyes
Now in his spell
Kiss the rotting flesh
Now you're in hell
[Bridge]
Drink from the goblet
The goblet of gore
Taste the zombie's drug
Now you want more
[Pre-Chorus]
Drifting from the living
Joining with the dead
Zombie dwelling maggots
Now infest your head
[Chorus]
Zombie ritual
Zombie ritual
[Verse 2]
Ceremony now complete
Chosen one is now deceased
Fucking, raping zombie whores
Killing, feasting no remorse
[Refrain]
Stare into his eyes
Now in his spell
Kiss the rotting flesh
Now you're in hell
[Bridge]
Drink from the goblet
The goblet of gore
Taste the zombie's drug
Now you want more
[Pre-Chorus]
Drifting from the living
Joining with the dead
Zombie dwelling maggots
Now infest your head
[Chorus]
Zombie ritual
Zombie ritual
[Guitar Solo]
