[Intro]
The Almighty will hold a handful of fire from which He will take out some people whose bodies have been burnt and they will be thrown into a river at the entrance of Paradise, called the water of life. Those people will come out of the water glistening like pearls. They will enter Paradise whereupon people therein will say "These are the people emancipated by the Beneficent. He has admitted them into Paradise without them having done any good deeds and without sending forth any good for themselves."

Alhamdulillahi Rabbil Alamin
Ar-Rahmanir Raheem
Maaliki yawmid-Deen

[Chorus]
Had a heart full of pain
A heart full of dread
Hard to explain how the darkness embeds
In a heart full of fear
How depression infests
How a man can lay down without getting in bed
Could have accepted death
It was too late for tears
So I invested in living instead
I was sitting in Hell
I let it burn
Now it's the return of the living dead
(living dead)

[Verse 1]
Had a heart full of hatred
Felt the temptation to murder my foes
I was given a life sentence
Just the thought of it hurts my soul
I experienced dark emotions I refuse to further disclose
I've harbored darker notions that I now prefer to withhold
Like a venomous poison in your spirit, it surges and grows
It'll make you feel evil urges you can neither divert or control
From a place of desolation, desperation, concern and woes
Sheol or Hades, hell or hel
Edda or Germanic prose
The devastation written in Revelation unfolds within yourself
But it goes untold
I'm a demonic angel bringing Pandemonium
The gate between Hell and Earth no longer closed
We flew the coop, observe and behold
Look on your stoop, it's a murder of crows
(a murder of crows)
Nevermore harked the raven
I am not Brandon Lee, I'm Eric Draven
I climbed up out of that grave, no Chad Stahelski
No body double, no stuntman to protect me
[Chorus]
Had a heart full of pain
A heart full of dread
Hard to explain how the darkness embeds
In a heart full of fear
How depression infests
How a man can lay down without getting in bed
Could have accepted death
It was too late for tears
So I invested in living instead
I was sitting in Hell
I let it burn
Now it's the return of the living dead
(living dead)

[Verse 2]
I lost myself
Had to fight so hard to be X-Raided Loc
I began to exhaust myself
I went without then I went within and I sought myself
Then I went and wrote "Autodidactic"
'cause I taught myself
It'd be a damn lie if I told y'all I did it all myself
But I want to depend on me
When I need something, I wanna call myself
When they started backbiting, I started backsliding
But I caught myself
I almost relapsed
I had a brief snap but I fought myself
I hereby absolve myself for all the pain that I brought myself
I had to unlearn things so I could learn to think what I thought myself
I declared X-Raided a king
I tried to exalt myself
They denied my crown, denied my throne
I had to withdraw myself
I'm haunted by things I've seen that I wouldn't dream or dare to tell
Whatever else you do
You need to prepare yourselves
I fought haters
I could've been a demon but I became a dragon slayer in Hell
When all hope was lost I prostrated in the Lake of Fire
And I said a prayer in Hell
[Chorus]
Had a heart full of pain
A heart full of dread
Hard to explain how the darkness embeds
In a heart full of fear
How depression infests
How a man can lay down without getting in bed
Could have accepted death
It was too late for tears
So I invested in living instead
I was sitting in Hell
I let it burn
Now it's the return of the living dead
(living dead)
