Already Dead Lyrics

See the death on the horizon - We're already dead
Don't open up yours eyes- We're already dead
You know the end is coming soon- We're already dead
Destruction and demise- We're already dead

[Chorus:]

So take a look around
The world has fallen
Problems everywhere
Your life is stolen

We're already dead

See the rubble on the city streets- We're already dead
Can't escape the aftermath- We're already dead
Monuments of power at our feet- We're already dead
A world torn in half- We're already dead

[Repeat Chorus:]

Leaders get what they want in vain-We're already dead
A country torn by war-We're already dead
And the children feel the pain-We're already dead
So many victims of this horror-We're already dead

[Repeat Chorus:]

We're already dead, dead, dead
We're already dead

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Cover art for Already Dead lyrics by Virus, The

by shardsofglass

3y ago

The political message is about warmongering nations destroying the lives of the innocent. I listened to this song during the pandemic as a song "Already Dead" by The Virus is a foreboding anthem for someone infected with a deadly disease and unknowingly passing it on to others. The sudden collapse of society is imminent but nobody has seen the symptoms of the insidious virus at this point! It's a terrifying song that sets a dark mood and a fast manic beat that stirs us into a frenzy of maniacs.
