A song about zombies and self-immolation. So, a lullaby, pretty much.

Had a bi***in' riff and some unrelated lyrical ideas, and voila! A song that makes little to no sense.

Indeed.

I'm not human, I'm a man; I don't pretend to have a plan
Leave your native land, find me if you can
Your essence is erased, your soul has been replaced
A man without a face, gone without a trace

Rise, Rise, Rise, my minions
Rise, Rise, Rise, my Lifeless

Try to erase the horrible taste
Leading you away, waste entire days
Forget about mankind, leave your skin behind
Eventually you'll find you can live without a mind

Claw your way out of the ground and open your eyes, and RISE!

Kill...
Feed...

Millions aghast, skull is spinning fast
Clothes smell like gas in a coffin made of glass
Pitch, roll, & yaw, Samuel f***ing Peckinpah
Wash away the law with a urine coup de grace

Step out of the box and open your eyes, and RISE!!!
