Leprosy Lyrics by Death

Leprosy (Deluxe Reissue)

1988

[Intro]
Wahh!

[Verse 1]
Bodies deformed way beyond belief
Cast out from their concerned society
Flesh contorting day after day
Freak of the dark world is what the people say

[Pre-Chorus]
Their lives decay before their eyes
There is no hope of cure
Among their own kind they live
A life that's so obscure
First an arm and then a leg
Deterioration grows
Rotting while they breathe
Death comes slow

[Chorus]
Leprosy will take control
And bring you to your death
No chance of a normal life
To live just like the rest
Leprosy will spread with time
Your body soon to change
Appearance becomes hideous
A sight too much to take

[Bridge]
Tuberculoid the most severe
Decay of the nerves comes fast
Sense of feeling soon to be gone
Life will never last

[Guitar Solo - Rick Rozz]
[Guitar Solo - Chuck Schuldiner]

[Verse 2]
No hope of recovery after the nerves are eaten away
Damage is done you feel no more pain
Bones decay deterioration grows
Origin of this horrid disease nobody knows

[Pre-Chorus]
Their lives decay before their eyes
There is no hope of cure
Among their own kind they live
A life that's so obscure
First an arm and then a leg
Deterioration grows
Rotting while they breathe
Death comes slow

[Chorus]
Leprosy will take control
And bring you to your death
No chance of a normal life
To live just like the rest
Leprosy will spread with time
Your body soon to change
Appearance becomes hideous
A sight too much to take
