Herbert West

A place where no-one walks in
Nobody walks out
Bodies waiting to be brought back
Perfect the life re-agent
Injection to the neck
Re-animated victims, running amok

They said 6 to 12 minutes
But Herbert proved them wrong
The price was high
They paid with their lives
Second birth is painful, retrieved from the dead
Double the dosage, under Westy`s knife

Mix the green solution, and re-animate
Waiting for the undamaged corpse
Time to get the body off the cold
He won`t show any remorse

Give the dead the appearance of life
Show the world what you can do
They said he was insane, but really he was dead
Eternal life will be achieved soon

Re-animation... taking control
Re-animation... body and soul
Giving life, defeating death
Braindead, heart stops
On your final breath
