[Verse 1]
Buried alive, I see death closing in
This is the moment of truth
Trapped in a coffin, there's nowhere to hide
Six feet under ground

[Refrain]
I'm being punished for all my sins
But the stripes of the tiger will never go away

[Chorus]
I crawl back to surface
You can't lock me down again
By evil I'm chosen
I am the living dead!

[Verse 2]
I've been buried alive at least a thousand times
Nothing can hold me down
There is no cure for me, I have no enemies
You're all beneath my kind

[Refrain]
I've been punished for all my sins
But the stripes won't go away
[Chorus]
I crawl back to surface
You can't lock me down again
By evil I'm chosen
I am the living dead

[Bridge]
Resurrected from the grave
I'm crawling through the dirt
Feel my wrath
Feel my hate
Resurrected from the grave!
I'm crawling through the dirt!

[Chorus]
I crawl back to surface
You can't lock me down again
By evil I'm chosen
I am the living dead

[Outro]
I am the living dead!
I am the living dead!
