Death - Leprosy Lyrics






Bodies deformed way beyond belief
Cast out from their concerned society
Flesh contorting day after day
Freak of the dark world is what the people say

Their lives decay before their eyes
There is no hope of cure
Among their own kind they live
A life that's so obscure
First an arm and then a leg
Deterioration grows
Rotting while they breathe - Death comes slow

Leprosy will take control and bring you to your death
No chance of a normal life to live just like the rest
Leprosy will spread with time, your body soon to change
Appearance becomes hideous a sight too much to take

Tuberculoid the most severe
Decay of the nerves comes fast
Sense of feeling soon to be gone
Life will never last

No hope of recovery after the nerves are eaten away
Damage is done you feel no more pain
Bones decay deterioration grows
Origin of this horrid disease nobody knows

Their lives decay before their eyes
There is no hope of cure
Among their own kind they live
A life that's so obscure
First an arm and then a leg
Deterioration grows
Rotting while they breathe - Death comes slow

Leprosy will take control and bring you to your death
No chance of a normal life to live just like the rest
Leprosy will spread with time, your body soon to change
Appearance becomes hideous a sight too much to take

    I found this cassette in the $1 bin of a used record store back in '88/'89. Very much a 'come to Jesus' moment for me. Still remember the lyrics some 30 years on. While listening, it occurred to me how many bands I discovered thanks to the liner notes in this album, back in the stone age when Youtube, and the internet didn't exist.

  37. T.... W....

    Me and a couple friends saw them in Tampa, 1990 or so. We were right at the front of the stage. Fucking Death rules!

    1. Leprosy


    [music and lyrics - Schuldiner]

    Bodies deformed way beyond belief
    Cast out from their concerned society
    Flesh contorting day after day
    Freak of the dark world is what the people say

    Their lives decay before their eyes
    There is no hope of cure
    Among their own kind they live
    A life that's so obscure
    First an arm and then a leg
    Deterioration grows
    Rotting while they breathe - Death comes slow

    Leprosy will take control and bring you to your death
    No chance of a normal life to live just like the rest
    Leprosy will spread with time, your body soon to change
    Appearance becomes hideous a sight too much to take

    Tuberculoid the most severe
    Decay of the nerves comes fast
    Sense of feeling soon to be gone
    Life will never last

    No hope of recovery after the nerves are eaten away
    Damage is done you feel no more pain
    Bones decay deterioration grows
    Origin of this horrid disease nobody knows

    Their lives decay before their eyes
    There is no hope of cure
    Among their own kind they live
    A life that's so obscure
    First an arm and then a leg
    Deterioration grows
    Rotting while they breathe - Death comes slow

    Leprosy will take control and bring you to your death
    No chance of a normal life to live just like the rest
    Leprosy will spread with time, your body soon to changel
    Appearance becomes hideous a sight too much to take


    2. Born Dead


    [lyrics - Schuldiner, music - Schuldiner / Rozz]

    Brought to this world to wither away
    Naive about the ways of life is what they say
    Millions live millions die, more are yet to come
    Living skeletons - Where they come from

    Born dead into this world
    To starve and rot in agony
    Born dead into this world
    It's their choice, why can't you see

    Life of misery, soon a corpse you be
    As bones show through, nothing you can do

    Relief does not exist
    When you are born to die

    Disease spreads fast across their dying world
    Many cemeteries they will have to build
    As process goes on for many years to come
    A human waste land created when they are done

    Born dead into this world
    To starve and rot in agony
    Born dead into this world
    It's their choice, why can't you see


    3. Forgotten Past


    [lyrics - Schuldiner, music - Schuldiner / Rozz]

    Deep in your mind there is another side
    A morbid truth one cannot hide
    Unimaginable gore was your past time high
    To hear people scream, to watch them die

    Return back to the burial site
    Face your dreams upon this night
    Severed limbs not far away
    Spirit past you now obey

    Images of the forgotten past
    Your first life revealed at last
    Now you'll find to your surprise
    All the corpses you left behind

    A place you feel you've been to before
    Where life would turn right into gore
    You dig deep down through the years of decay
    The truth is revealed, you found your way

    Return back to the burial site
    Face your dreams upon this night
    Severed limbs not far away
    Spirit past you now obey

    Images of the forgotten past
    Your first life revealed at last
    Now you'll find to your surprise
    All the corpses you left behind


    4. Left To Die


    [lyrics - Schuldiner, music - Schuldiner / Rozz]

    Put your life into their hands
    Die for someone else
    Now you're in the real world
    Where pain and death are felt

    The first blood shed does not seem real
    Reality is what you feel
    Dropping to your knees you pray
    God won't make this go away

    You will not return alive - Left to die
    Suffering until the end - Left to die

    Time stands still as you pass away
    No more tomorrow this is your last day
    On this fucking earth

    Bodies fall onto the ground
    Blood flies through the air
    Shredded victims lie in pain
    Death is never fair

    Legs blown off, all hope is lost
    A human life is what it cost
    Others follow close behind
    A real adventure they will find

    You will not return alive - Left to die
    Suffering until the end - Left to die


    5. Pull The Plug


    [Music and lyrics: Schuldiner]

    Memories is all that's left behind
    As I lay and wait to die
    Little do they know
    That I hear their choice of life

    End it now, it is the only way
    Too cruel, that is what they say
    Release me from this lonely world
    There is no hope, why don't you

    Pull the plug
    Let me pass away
    Pull the plug
    Don't want to live this way

    Once I had full control of my life
    I now behold a machine decides my fate
    End it now it's all too late

    What has now been days, it seems like years
    To stay like this is what I fear
    Life ends so fast, so take your chance
    And make it last

    End it now, it is the only way
    Too cruel, that is what they say
    Release me from this lonely world
    There is no hope, why don't you

    Pull the plug
    Let me pass away
    Pull the plug
    Don't want to live this way


    6. Open Casket


    [lyrics - Schuldiner, music - Schuldiner / Rozz]

    Approach the image filled with fear
    As the image grows so clear
    Future now takes full control
    The one whose past you now behold
    Touch - The flesh it is so cold
    Turn away - You now have been told
    Never to return, memories will last
    In the future, you'll think about the past
    Never to forget, what you have seen

    People come to pay respect
    Taking pictures of the dead
    That is what life comes to be
    Once they lived, now they're deceased

    Death is oh so strange
    The past no one can change
    What you can't predict
    Is how long you'll exist
    Open casket - Open casket

    Life will never be the same
    Death can never be explained
    It's their time to go beyond
    Empty feeling when they're gone

    Never to return, memories will last
    In the future, you'll think about the past
    Never to forget, what you have seen
    What can not be real you now believe


    7. Primitive Ways


    [lyrics - Schuldiner, music - Rozz]

    Go against the ways and experience pain
    Leading a life which one might call insane
    Bathe in the blood of the one you killed
    Slaughter to survive, your needs are fulfilled

    Using horrid waste
    Some of them will taste
    Removing deadly disease
    With such primitive ease

    Cannibals practising the art of butchery
    Emotions don't exist, pain you can't resist

    Primitive ways

    Conducting ceremonies to meet the ancient ones
    While having an outer body experience
    Celebrate the kill of the day
    Then walk among the guts of the fallen prey

    Using horrid waste
    Some of them will taste
    Removing deadly disease
    With such primitive ease

    Cannibals practising the art of butchery
    Emotions don't exist, pain you can't resist


    8. Choke On It


    [lyrics - Schuldiner, music - Schuldiner / Rozz]

    Freedom is just a breath away
    Will you live to see the day
    As the heat intensifies
    You start to choke, your insides fry

    Seizure now sets in
    Torture will begin
    Twisted bodies lie
    Waiting now to die

    Choke on it - As your tongue goes down
    Choke on it - Death is all around

    Screaming fills your frenzied mind
    No way out no more time
    Example made from those to see
    Your freedom turned to misery

    World is all around
    Of what they have found
    Lesson to be learn
    You will not return

    Choke on it - As your tongue goes down
    Choke on it - Death is all around
