Among the Living Dead Lyrics by Iced Earth

Plagues of Babylon

2014

[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1 – Stu Block]
As was promised you
Pathogen's upon them
This creation out of control
They've come back to life
Their hunger is unrelenting
The flesh will ease their pain
[Verse 2 – Stu Block]
They will never take us
Out numbers are too strong
They'll never see the light of day
Waved of the undead storm
Draining life from their path
Spreading death and vile decay
[Chorus – Stu Block]
When in the darkness, the groans are all we hear
The sunshine rises, they never disappear
When they come, the evil possession
Sweeps through us all and we fall
When we rise, a gruesome creation
Enslaving the dead as their pawns
[Post-Chorus – Hansi Kürsch]
Woooo-oooo-ooooh
Woooo-oooo-ooooh
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge – Stu Block]
They've built themselves an army
Mindless, void and violent
Crushing all opposition
And those preaching resistance
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3 – Stu Block]
Roaming armies of death
The plague sweeps across the land
Created by the hand of men
Body's ripped to shreds
The stench makes us sick
Among the living dead
[Chorus – Stu Block]
When in the darkness, the groans are all we hear
The sunshine rises, they never disappear
When they come, the evil possession
Sweeps through us all and we fall
When we rise, a gruesome creation
Enslaving the dead as their pawns
[Post-Chorus – Hansi Kürsch]
Woooo-oooo-ooooh
Woooo-oooo-ooooh
