Resurrection Men

(Dig up!)
Light a lantern and grab your shovel
Dig 'em up, man, use some muscle
(Dig up!)
Men, women, children, young, and old
That cadaver's as good as gold
(Dig up!)
Bodies wanted in the name of science
Dig 'em up in dark defiance
(Dig up!)
Don't ask me where they're from
Just take 'em, doc, then be done

Stalking through the dark and rain, we've come to dig this ground again
The bodies are in high demand, so broken graves, we leave behind
In the ground, a coffin lies, the epitaphs are now just lies
In this cruel world, it's us or them, but know the dead can't die again

Quick to dig the dead again, a ghoulish plan that lies within
These dark nights steeped in graves, there's got to be a better way
Digging through the dark and rain, we've come to dig this ground again
The bodies are in high demand, so broken graves, we leave behind

(Dig up!)
Light a lantern and grab your shovel
Dig 'em up, man, use some muscle
(Dig up!)
Men, women, children, young, and old
That cadaver's as good as gold
(Dig up!)
Bodies wanted in the name of science
Dig 'em up in dark defiance
(Dig up!)
Don't ask me where they're from
Just take 'em, doc, then be done

Stalking through the dark and rain, we've come to dig this ground again
The epitaphs are now just lies, so broken graves, we leave behind
Can't satisfy my need, so all these crimes are fueled by greed
Take the wallet, take the pearls, it's us or them in this cruel world

Hunting down the homeless, food and drink are what we promise
Have some wine by the fire as I'm overcome by my growing desire
Disappear under the thunder, people stall in fear and wonder
"Where have the vagrants gone?" Lesser dead of the streets are gone
