Among The Living Lyrics

Among The Living

Disease! Disease! Spreading the disease.

With some help from Captain Trips, he'll bring the world down to his knees.

Power, yes Power! He'll show them all his power.

It pulses through his ice cold blood, a whole world to devour!

Bridge

He's seeing, he's calling, his legacy he's spawning.

He's coming, corrupting, among the living!

Murder! Murder! Commit cold blooded murder!

Like Nazis during World War Two, they only follow orders.

Hatred! Hatred! A crucifix is your bed,

Once he turns his eye on you, you'll be better off dead!

Bridge

Chorus

I'm the walkin' dude, I can see all the world!

Twist your minds with fear, I'm the man with the power.

Among the living, follow me or die!

Man, fights Man! Divided they can't stand!

United, they can battle back, and make him force his hand!

Fear, yes fear! His end is growing near,

He didn't count on Man's good faith, and their will to persevere.

Bridge

Chorus

Follow me or die!

FIRE! HOT FIRE!! Purge the world with fire!!

Damnation is the price he'll pay, for an evil man's desire!

Good, versus evil! The stand to vanquish evil!

Man can only live one way, that place right in the middle.

Chorus

Follow me or die!

Among Among Among Among Among Among Among Among Among Among Among Among!

i heard the album "among the living" was dedicated to cliff burton. maybe the song "among the living" was about it?

No, it's about Stephen King's novel The Stand

I just bought this album and was checking out some of the song meanings. I also happen to be in the middle of reading The Stand by Stephen King. I can't believe this song is about this book. What a hell of a coincidence!
