Heartbeat

Verse 1

The street is cold and empty, not a single soul in sight

A distant howl is echoing beneath the dying light

You feel the ground is shifting as the shadows start to crawl

A warning in the silence says the dead will soon stand tall

Pre‑Chorus

Your heartbeat's getting frantic

The fear becomes gigantic

A whisper in the darkness

Says you're already marked, yes

Chorus

'Cause when the rising dead appear

You feel the terror growing

Every step behind you means the night is knowing

When the rising dead appear

They're coming for your soul

And the moon above is watching as you lose control

Verse 2

A figure starts to tremble with a grin that's carved too wide

Its bones begin to crack as something wakes up deep inside

The air turns cold and heavy as the creatures leave the grave

You try to run for safety but there's no one left to save

Pre‑Chorus

Your heartbeat's getting frantic

The fear becomes gigantic

A whisper in the darkness

Says you're already marked, yes

Chorus

'Cause when the rising dead appear

You feel the terror growing

Every step behind you means the night is knowing

When the rising dead appear

They're coming for your soul

And the moon above is watching as you lose control

Bridge (spoken, style Vincent Price)

In shadows deep... the dead awake

Their twisted limbs begin to shake

They circle you... with hollow eyes

No hope remains... no compromise

For once they rise... from death's domain

Your trembling heart... is theirs to claim

Final Chorus

When the rising dead appear...
