Lyrics
Find another songChaos and war caused disease to spread
Cannibal survivors were all that were left
Unnatural acts bring hideous plague
Humankind in its final stage
Dying, mass extinction, the end is here
Grinning, they know they will die
Scraps of flesh hang from decrepit fangs
Necrotizing, putrid and rank
Countenance becomes a face of death
Jaws fixed as the rot ferments
Contamination taints the meat they consume
Exposed jawbone festers with drool
Labored gnashing, they struggle to eat
Facial muscles enfeebled and weak
Pestilential rictus
Rotting flesh decays
Grin is fixed in misery, rancid rotting maw
Corpselike humans slowly march
Desolation, barren and dark
Nothing lives except these ghoulish fiends
Ambushing rivals they attempt to feed
The morbid remnant fight to survive
All decent people have long since died
Devoid of conscience, they seek only food
Still alive but their world is a tomb
Pestilential rictus
Rotting flesh decays
Grin is fixed in misery, rancid rotting maw
Pestilential rictus
Skin now falls away
Facial muscles atrophy, soon to putrefy
The soul has failed mankind
Forsaken by what they revered
The damned are left behind
Eternally grinning with fear
Diseased inhuman predation
They live in terror and terrorize
Dying, mass extinction, the end is here
Grinning, they know they will die
Rotting, mass starvation, man eating man
Rictus, bared teeth horrify
Pestilential rictus
Rotting flesh decays
Grin is fixed in misery, rancid rotting maw
Pestilential rictus
Skin now falls away
Facial muscles atrophy, soon to putrefy
