Track 8 of our debut album Exanimate.

lyrics

PYRES

He's showing symptoms put a bullet in him
Bury the corpse now - Throw him in the ground
Annihilate his presence
Quick before it spreads amongst us
Let the earth swallow him
Give us all a chance

Disorder spreads amongst the villages
Disorder spreads throughout the towns
Unrest is rife in all the cities and now
The rich, The poor, Entire social breakdown
Some people beg, Others rape and pillage
Anarchy takes control across the land
A state of martial law has been declared
Safety can not be found anywhere

Line them all up - And gun them all down
The only chance - Of survival is to kill
Their lifeless corpse - Throw them on the pyre
Let all that burns save the rest of us

Disorder spreads throughout the villages
Disorder spreads throughout the town
Unrest if rife in all the cities and now
The borders closed - We are isolated
Control has dissipated - No one rules now
Anarchy takes control across the land
We act like savages as we hunt those down who
Carry the symptoms of the plague

Let all that burns save the rest of us
Let all that we have slaughtered set us free

The savagery in us - The will to make them bleed
Self preservation - Is all that we can see
We set them alight - We burn them all
In order to survive - They all have to take the fall

Line them all up - And gun them all down
The only chance - Of survival is to kill
Their lifeless corpse - Throw them on the pyre
Let all that burns save the rest of us

This fear it burns in all of us
This panic makes us fucking scream
We never planned to come across
The prospect of extinction

Set us free

The population shrinks as those we kill increases
We slaughter the infected to preserve ourselves
We pray that we do not contract the deadly sickness
Or else we have to face the fiery fate as well
