Monolith Lyrics by Cannibal Corpse

Vile

1996

[Intro]
Imminent decay of life
Ruthless, dead monolith
Human race will be devoured
Cannibals

[Chorus 1]
Ghoulish undead vanguard
Silent killers striking quickly
Blood lust for the living
Eat their flesh, drink their blood
Callous in their method
Murderers, murderers
Horrific infiltration
Monolith of undead

[Verse 1]
Slay the living is only object for this bestial rotting horde
Slaughtering the helpless, slaughter all that lives
Driven by an evil force to feed on humankind
Exterminate resistance, exterminate them all
Cunning and yet mindless, stealthily they kill
Army of decay plodding toward the breathing ones
Countless decomposing corpses walk upon the earth
Outnumbering the living, soon they'll be extinct

[Verse 2]
Zombies seek life, mindless killing all in sight
Addicted to entrails, they crave warm flesh
Hunting dead seek ruthless feeding on the weak
Savagery prevails, tear them to shreds
Fighting undead, flesh wounds bleeding black, not red
Invincible undead force, there is no hope
Zombies devour, quicken mankind's final hour
Fate will run its course, there is no hope

[Verse 3]
Walking dead surround, search for living flesh
Ambush on the town takes a shocking toll
Screams of living fade as the dead destroy their lives, they die
Hollowed bodies heap, empty carcasses
Innards are devoured by the mob of ghouls
Remaining living flee the horde

[Chorus]
Ghoulish undead vanguard
Silent killers striking quickly
Blood lust for the living
Eat their flesh, drink their blood
Callous in their method
Murderers, murderers
Horrific infiltration, monolith

[Outro]
Imminent decay of life
Caused by this monolith
Human race was sacrificed
Their future does not exist
Armies of undead
Slaying the living
Bestial rotting horde
Monolith of death
Cannibals
