[Verse 1]
E5
Lost inside the system
Locked away without a key
No one will ever miss a menace to society
A gross lack of potential
Bad decisions made in spite
                                               D5
A touchy hairpin trigger and such a wasted life

[Verse 2]
E5
Trying to break the mold of a broken family
Fight against your failure
And living on his knees
Guilty of a crime of nonconformity
A hanging judge and jury handing down the penalty

[Verse 3]
A lethal injection
Now they watch the body jerk
Exterminate the problem
Except it didn't work

[Verse 4]
E5
  No vital sign of life,
they declared it wasn't there
Coroner never checked
Because he didn't fucking care
Passing off the body
They all believe he died
The starting up the hearse
Now for a final drive
Like whistling past a graveyard
When walking by at night
It's a fatal illusion
To think that evil never dies

[Bridge]
E5 D#5 D5     D5
         In a darkened mortuary

[Verse 5]
Reeking of formaldehyde
Aroused from deadly slumber
                            D5
Something opened up his eyes

[Verse 6]
D5
Spilling all their blood was a promise that he'd keep
                                                     D5
Hate so strong revived him from a deep necrotic sleep

[Verse 7]
D5
Clawing away the casket lid until his fingers bleed
He grabbed a knife and set out on a vivisection spree

[Verse 8]
D5  D5
  A butcher, hell bent
Massacring each one with his blade
From the first one to the last
He dispatched them to the grave

[Solo 5]
D5
  It's a fatal illusion
It's a fatal illusion

[Outro]
E5
  Evil never dies
It never dies
