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
Cast out from their concerned society
Flesh contorting day after day
Freak of the dark world is what the people say
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
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
Decay of the nerves comes fast
Sense of feeling soon to be gone

this is about the disease leprosy and the appearence of one who has it. chuck writes such awesome lyrics, you can practically see in your mind someone suffering from this. this song is a six minute crippler with some heavy riffs during the chorus
R.I.P. Chuck
This GENIUS song is about Leprosy and how the people affected with this horrid disease live secretly among their own (who are infected with it) and how the disease slowly changes their body and they fall apart.AWESOME SONG r.i.p chuck you were a DOMINATING musician.
It is kind of scary, how vividly Chuck Shuldiner describes this shit.
thats stupid leprosy is cureable
@COBvsDETHKLOK your fuckin stupid there were not medicine in these times that he describes. You can even look at the album artwork.

Schuldiner's vocals are brutal in this one, as are the guitars. Probably the best album from the pre-Human era.
This song is about a lucky Irish boy who realises he is on a roll. It turns out that the roll belongs to Home Secretary David Davis who had brought it to parliament with him for his lunch. The Irish boy ends up having to buy him a cheese and pickle sandwich from Sainsburys.
