When the Last Grave Has Emptied lyrics
by The Black Dahlia Murder
[Intro]
Inhuman, the mounting of a tragedy macabre
Resurrection of the fallen, the undead start to rise
Driven by hunger for vengeance
We're left with little time to question the motives of the damned
[Chorus]
We turn to science to make the puzzles whole
What lies beyond those hollowed eyes
We'll be defeated, destroyed by our own ghosts
[Post-Chorus]
When the last grave has emptied
When the last shred of hope melts away
An endless swarm of damnation will swallow the last of humanity into the black
[Verse 1]
In hiding, our dwindling numbers rush to find a cure
The laws of reason are dissolving into never ending night
[Verse 2]
Mere shadows of their former selves
We fall to friend and foe alike
We stand abandoned by our gods
Backed into corners, there's nowhere left to hide
[Verse 3]
The soils of hell shall keep them coming
Our feeble planet overrun with the legions of the dead
[Chorus]
We turn to science to make the puzzles whole
What lies beyond those hollowed eyes
We'll be defeated, destroyed by our own ghosts
[Post-Chorus]
When the last grave has emptied
When the last shred of hope melts away
An endless swarm of damnation will swallow the last of humanity into the black
[Pre-Chorus]
Fits of hysteria have claimed the hearts of man
The panic-ridden are consumed, their bones dry in the sun
The zombies multiply with haste
The streets are stained with human waste
[Chorus]
We turn to science to make the puzzles whole
What lies beyond those hollowed eyes
We'll be defeated, destroyed by our own ghosts
[Post-Chorus]
When the last grave has emptied
When the last shred of hope melts away
An endless swarm of damnation will swallow the last of humanity into the black
