Autopsy The Tomb Within 1. The Tomb Within [Music and Lyrics: Reifert] You're dying inside Every heartbeat closer to the last Immortality a fallacy A perverted pipe dream of the past [Chorus:] The tomb, it needs it's hunger An unforgiving force Your blown mind reels in torture True doom locked on its course Your blood it flows in torment A testament to weakness Your deathday clock is ticking you'll surrender to your creatures [Chorus] [Lead - Cutler / Lead - Coralles] Your graveyard eyes unseeing your mind drowns in the crypt construction of the perfect beast Your senses have been stripped Look over your shoulder Damnation's waiting there Your run slows to a crawl The casket calls to your despair Abyssmal hopelessness - Down on bloody knees There's madness in your soul - A swarming of disease Cemetery visions Eyes peeled red and open Curled up in a coffin Mind and soul are broken [Chorus] Merging with the void while encloaked by total doom Feel the reaper's breath as you slip inside the tomb Wake up dead and mourning with a knife tight in your fist thank the blood red skies For with death you have been kissed... 2. My Corpse Shall Rise [Music: Cutler, Lyrics: Reifert] My corpse shall rise! In the cemetery now you have arrived To finally see my flesh from which you stole the life Though you never were discovered, you're still free I've got a curse on you, I've haunted all your dreams You can't believe I'm gone You must be sure, it must be real Panic stricken, to the grave The truth must be revealed [Lead - Coralles] With shaking hands and sickening thoughts You find my resting place With pounding heart and bloodshot eyes The shovel desecrates The time has come to face reality And visit death To see my corpse and stop the dreams To see it knows no breath [Lead - Cutler] At your feet, uncovered is the box You're almost paralysed with fear Feel the bile creep up your throat Lift the lid and know I'm here I lie here rotting, maggots burrowing, feeding, swarming You can't hold back the nausea Help won't find you Stomach twisting, violent retching, defiled by vomit Now my vengeful corpse begins to rise I've been waiting here for you Now it's time to see you die 3. Seven Skulls [Music: Cutler, Lyrics: Reifert] I've got seven skulls One is staring back at me Atop the rotting stairs Is where my family waits for me At night I go to see them (No, I am not insane...) Unlock the door forbidden That only knows my name This room is filled with knowledge Of nightmares, dreams and fears They all flow through my mind The real world disappears I've got seven skulls seven boxes in a row Seven spirits free I'll join them soon, they call to me One night they made me do it I woke at four A.M. I felt their desperate pleading Their prisons tortured them They wanted to be free They said I was the one My brain was filled with voices As I picked up my gun 4. Human Genocide [Music: Cutler/Reifert, Lyrics: Reifert] All human life is engulfed in dead flesh Mindless corpses with worms in their head Up from the grave the nightmare has begun A woman screams as the dead eat her son [Chorus:] Doomsday is here, the dead walk among us The people are dying to rise up again The crypts breathe new life As the inhabitants emerge Creating a hell beyond comprehension Ripping and shredding the flesh of the living Corpses are walking to prey on the live blood Decapitation of women and children Flesh eating zombies devour their guts Feasting on flesh and bathing in blood Where there was life, now there is none Maggots burrowing deep inside The dead take over, human genocide [Chorus] [Lead - Cutler] 5. Mutant Village [Music and Lyrics: Reifert] Desert screams on plains of doom Your mind will snap beyond the dunes A village ahead, the stench of disease Nauseating wasteland, distorted dead trees [Chorus:] One eyed vultures feeding On twisted malformed prey Are these hallucinations In this place of foul decay An image in shadows, radiation diseased A figure of sickness... No eyes, nose or teeth You see it comes forward, you freeze up with fear The horror's upon you as others appear [Chorus] An array of the nuclear deformed Cursed with plague, with wounds they are adorned A vision of hell, their food you will become Cannibals beneath a sickened sun Mental lapse, this nightmare can't be real Sanity cracked, your brain will not be healed [Lead - Coralles / Lead - Cutler] Your dried up scream makes not a sound their hunger is upon you now Horrific limbs and faces twist Your throat is slashed, cease to exist Lineup Eric Cutler - Guitar Danny Coralles - Guitar Joe Trevisano - Bass Chris Reifert - Drums/Vocals Facts Autopsy "The Tomb Within" recorded and mixed by Adam Munoz at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley, CA from July 19-23, 2010 Produced by Autopsy and Adam Munoz Cover art by Matt Cavotta Band Photograph by Jenny Cowan
