Zombie Conquerer

[Verse 1: David Longstreth]

Crazy to feel like this

Up and down, simultaneous

Victory and defeat

One to one, we'll have to wait and see

And now the clouds are gathered

My eyes are bright, my khakis tattered

[Pre-Chorus 1: David Longstreth]

The stakes are raised

The townspeople are anxious and alert

The surface of the reservoir is mirrored and inert

The flag is hanging motionless on the pole outside the court

And in their homes the people look with stares they can't avert

[Chorus: David Longstreth]

Zombie conqueror

We see into the midnight in front of us

Zombie conqueror

We see into the midnight in front of us

My friend, we'll have to free each other more than once

Zombie conqueror

We see into the midnight in front of us

Night, night

[Verse 2: David Longstreth]

I left home at fifteen

I knew no home between

Half a life goes by

Only a picture of the sky

And now the clouds are gathered

My eyes are bright, my khakis tattered

[Pre-Chorus 2: David Longstreth]

The blocking characters all plotting new disloyalty

But sensing their irrelevance, they're frowning and displeased

The car chase through the mini-mall, amaryllis on the hood

The race to clear the courthouse has been won and all is good

[Chorus: David Longstreth + Empress Of]

(Zombie conqueror)

(Zombie conqueror)

Zombie conqueror (zombie conqueror)

We see into the midnight in front of us

Zombie conqueror (zombie conqueror)

We see into the midnight in front of us

My friend, we'll have to free each other more than once

Zombie conqueror (zombie conqueror)

We see into the midnight in front of us

Night, night
