Burning The Body Lyrics - Singles - Send More Paramedics

"This body may incriminate; 

I move that we incinerate. 

It's best that we remove all trace 

Of everything that's taken place. 

This dubious experiment, 

Whose ending was so violent: 

A chemical malign and dread 

Able to revive the dead." 

"General, with all due respect 

Your reasoning is incorrect 

This rash decision must be checked 

BURNING THE BODY 

We have no way to theorize 

What complications may arise 

I vehemently disadvise 

BURNING THE BODY 

If we let the fumes escape 

The problems that this may create 

Aren't easy to anticipate 

BURNING THE BODY 

These chemicals dissolved in rain 

Could seep into a thousand graves 

And trigger off a zombie plague!" 

BURNING THE BODY 

"Son, what makes you think you oughta 

Disobey a direct order? 

It's my responsibility 

To maintain total secrecy." 

Rain 

Slashing down 

Filling boxes 

In the ground 

What's that scrabbling sound? 

I don't like this! 

Watching the flames rise 

Flinching as hope dies 

Stoking the furnace 

Ashes to ashes 

Now it's just too fucking late 

Cadavers rise consumed with hate 

Bodies soaked in strange compounds 

The children of the toxic cloud! 

Now down by the cemetery 

A hideous emergency 

Beginnings of catastrophe 

BURNING THE BODY 

On the freeway drivers panic 

Zombies stumble through the traffic 

Scent of brain-meat makes them manic 

BURNING THE BODY 

Now on every radio-station 

Bulletins broadcast to the nation 

Briefing on the situation 

BURNING THE BODY 

The whole world is convulsed in flame 

And only we can take the blame 

We've made a terrible mistake 

BURNING THE BODY
