Lyrics

Dead by Dawn

The room is sideways, flips, and then begins to shrink

Cackling away, ever so slightly out of sync

While my extremities convulse

And spasm in symphonic harmony

Dead by dawn

Dead by dawn

Is it a heart attack?

Is it a heart attack?

Dead by dawn

Dead by dawn

Is it a heart attack?

Is it a heart attack?

The sirens wail off in the distance as I fade

A diabolically insistent serenade

Bone shatters as my chest bursts out

But to reveal a hostile alien nest

Dead by dawn

Dead by dawn

Is it a heart attack?

Is it a heart attack?

Dead by dawn

Dead by dawn

Is it a heart attack?

Is it a heart attack?

My guts slit open

All my insides spill out

As if to cruelly taunt me before I die

Tonight I'll swallow your soul

Tonight I'll swallow your soul

Tonight I'll swallow your soul

Dead by dawn
