A Zombie's Groan

Verse 1

I woke beneath the moonlit sky,

With empty eyes that never cry.

No one knows the life I knew,

Before the darkness pulled me through.

Every step's a weary groan,

Walking this world all alone.

Villagers run, players hide,

Never seeing what's inside.

Pre-Chorus

I wasn't born to spread this fear,

I just wander year by year.

Waiting for the morning sun,

Knowing that's when I'll be gone.

Chorus

They think I only want brains,

Like that's all that fills my veins.

But deep inside, I still remain,

A soul that's trapped inside this pain.

A piece of meat would do just fine,

If it meant another peaceful night.

Instead I roam where shadows lie,

Just another zombie passing by.

Verse 2

Rain keeps falling on my face,

Searching for a better place.

Every village lights the way,

But they chase me all away.

Iron swords and arrows fly,

No one stops to ask me why.

Maybe once I had a name,

Now I'm only known by shame.

Bridge

If the sunrise gave me one more chance,

I'd plant the fields instead of dance.

Build a home beneath the trees,

And live my life in harmony.

Final Chorus

They hear my lonely groan,

Thinking I was born of stone.

They fear my search for brains,

But they don't see my hidden pain.

If someone shared a little meat,

Maybe I could rest in peace.

Until the dawn lights up the sky,

I'm just a zombie... living my life.
