lyrics

’Twas on a stark, stormy eve
When the moon itself came to grieve
And the living dead swagger and sway.

When scavengers gather to feast
From a dustbowl of the deceased
Most choke on the bones of yesterday.

Stumbling about like a tumbleweed
His doleful silhouette could be seen
He walked, a drunkard amongst the dead
Hating the world he surveyed.

It was then that a ghost whispered close to his ear
Just the melody that he’d longed to hear
So beautiful the song, he was led astray
And he followed her voice as she drifted far away…


He awoke in the dark, in a theme park, still kept alive by the dead
The spectral lady faded away, but still sang clear in his head
She brought him to a new sanctuary in the shadows
Where the light itself fears to tread.

And so, he settled in
To a life of sin
And a debauched way to thrive
Amongst the wicked motley lot that flocked as he arrived,
It was on that very night that Morte McAdaver finally came alive…
