Swinging The Dead Lyrics
Swinging the dead
Get it up, pick it up, chilling thrilling sounds of the rock 'n roll haunted
It's the graveyard sound
with the monster thrash for the demon haunted
Get it up, dig 'em up, chilling thrilling sounds of the rock 'n roll haunted -
It's the graveyard sound, it's the graveyard sound for the evil-hearted
Ride if you like, ride if you like
Swinging the
dead, swinging the dead
Deathride
Go
Pick it up, fuck it up, this swinging sound it's got them moving
It's the
graveyard sound, it's the evil sound, this demon's got heart
Pick it up, fuck it up, this swinging sound it's got them moving -
You scream for blood, you scream for flesh, just keep the bodies
Moving
Swinging the dead, swinging the dead
Deathride -
Go and swing it!!
Get it, up pick it up, chilling thrilling sounds of the rock 'n roll haunted
It's the graveyard sound
with the monster thrash for the demon haunted
Pick it up, fuck it up, this swinging sound it's got them moving
You scream for
blood, you scream for flesh, keep the bodies moving
Ride if you like, ride if you like, deathride
Swinging the dead, swinging
the dead
Deathride
It's the graveyard sound
with the monster thrash for the demon haunted
Get it up, dig 'em up, chilling thrilling sounds of the rock 'n roll haunted -
It's the graveyard sound, it's the graveyard sound for the evil-hearted
Ride if you like, ride if you like
dead, swinging the dead
Deathride
It's the
graveyard sound, it's the evil sound, this demon's got heart
Pick it up, fuck it up, this swinging sound it's got them moving -
You scream for blood, you scream for flesh, just keep the bodies
Moving
Deathride -
It's the graveyard sound
with the monster thrash for the demon haunted
Pick it up, fuck it up, this swinging sound it's got them moving
You scream for
blood, you scream for flesh, keep the bodies moving
Ride if you like, ride if you like, deathride
the dead
Deathride

This song is so funky.
It kind of sounds like Dez 'tipping his hat' to The Misfits.
The song that got me into Devildriver
I think this song is about keeping music alive. Well, Thats just me:
"chilling thrilling sounds of the rock 'n roll " "You scream for blood, you scream for flesh, just keep the bodies moving" "this swinging sound it's got them moving"
Then again, maybe it is literally about swinging dead bodies, dunno.
I love this song. when I first heard this song I thought the first lines were
get it up pick it up thats the swinging sounds of the rock and roll honkey
lol. I love mistakeing lyrics. this song rocks, it is very "funky" I guess, is the only word to describe it acturatly. It kinda has a bounce to it. which I think is really cool.
There is a reason it has a bounce to it. It isn't about jamming to oldschool rock and roll or keeping the music alive. When bands talk about having bodies being pushed around or dropped, it's about moshing (See "Bodies" - Drowning Pool). The reason this song has such a bounce to it is because it was obviously made for the moshers.
...I'm not exactly sure what this song means, but I know it was the first DD song that really stuck in my head...maybe because I'm a "mosher." All DD's songs, on the first album, are great moshing songs.
dying_inside - I thought the lyrics really were "rock and roll honkey"!! hah
This song is crazy, and fun, and really doesn't mean much... just a nice little ditty with some double kick drum hits and heavy guitars. If Elvis were into thrash, this would be the song he'd write.
No offence, but i kinda hate this song =\
no offence goldennug18, i hate you. FAG!
lol nice pyropunk. this is one of my favorite devildriver songs. i dont know what its about nor do i care. i just listen to it
