B-b-b-b-b-back-back-back

B-b-b-b-b-back-back-back

B-b-b-b-b-back-back-back

B-b-b-b-b-back-back-back

Cold and black inside this coffin

Cause you all try to keep me down

How it feels to be forgotten

But you'll never forget me now

Enemies clawing at my eyes

I scratch and bleed, just to stay alive, yeah

The zombies come out at night

They'll never catch me

They'll never catch me

B-b-b-b-b-back-back-back

B-b-b-b-b-back-back-back

Light it up, light it up, now I'm burning

Feel the rush, feel the rush of adrenaline

We are young, we are strong, we will rise

Cause I'm back, back, back from the dead tonight

To the floor, to the floor, hit the red line

Flying high, flying high at the speed of light

Full of love, full of light, full of fight

Cause I'm back, back, back from the dead tonight

B-b-b-b-b-back-back-back

B-b-b-b-b-back-back-back

Break the skin, you spread like poison

Dying slow when we all attack

How it feels to be the broken

You took a piece, now I'm biting back

Enemies clawing at my eyes

I scratch and bleed, just to stay alive, yeah

The zombies come out at night

They'll never catch me

They'll never catch me

B-b-b-b-b-back-back-back

B-b-b-b-b-back-back-back

Light it up, light it up, now I'm burning

Feel the rush, feel the rush of adrenaline

We are young, we are strong, we will rise

Cause I'm back, back, back from the dead tonight

To the floor, to the floor, hit the red line

Flying high, flying high at the speed of light

Full of love, full of light, full of fight

Cause I'm back, back, back from the dead tonight

Back, back, back from the dead tonight

Deep down, for the count

Don't you dare count me out

Never break, never bow

Never beg, not a doubt

The zombies come out at night

They'll never catch me

They'll never catch me

B-b-b-b-b-back-back-back

B-b-b-b-b-back-back-back

B-b-b-b-b-back-back-back

B-b-b-b-b-back-back-back

Light it up, light it up, now I'm burning

Feel the rush, feel the rush of adrenaline

We are young, we are strong, we will rise

Cause I'm back, back, back from the dead tonight

To the floor, to the floor, hit the red line

Flying high, flying high at the speed of light

Full of love, full of light, full of fight

Cause I'm back, back, back from the dead tonight

Back, back, back from the dead tonight

(B-b-b-b-b-back-back-back)

Dead tonight

(B-b-b-b-b-back-back-back)

Back from the dead tonight

(B-b-b-b-b-back-back-back)
