lyrics

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, yeah, c’mon

Look into
A life benign
With helping hands
Inception of a tale of woe and death
As they both collide
Light and dark
Will meet in the test of two minds

I am
Evil
Reaper
Face of death
No one can stop me
Raging
Fire
Inside
Nothing left
For you but fading memory

The sword of light will provide
Evil will stop
Yet at the end of the day
The sun will drop

Split in two
Remains, decay
Of nothing left
Chaos, embers, epitaphs to say
Cries of babes
Shallow graves
Hell is paved with good intent

I am
Evil
Reaper
Face of death
No one can stop me
Raging
Fire
Inside
Nothing left
For you but fading memory

The sword of light will provide
Evil will stop
Yet at the end of the day
The sun will drop

Gleaming and churning I’m yearning, this hunger for death
Meaning well but it all fails the ultimate test
I’m choking on the bones of ignorance
You can’t hide, I’m crushing your defense

Split in two
Remains, decay
Of nothing left
Chaos, embers, epitaphs to say
Shallow graves
Cries of babes
Hell is paved with good intent

The sword of light will provide
Evil will stop
Yet at the end of the day
The sun will drop

about

Dead Swarm Phoenix, Arizona

Founded 2013 in Phoenix, AZ, Dead Swarm’s approach to metal is dark and aggressive, influenced by Six Feet Under, Morbid Angel, Death, and Pig Destroyer. Featuring articulate gutteral lead vocals and a hard-hitting rhythm section, the sound of Dead Swarm is matched by its unsettling lyrical themes--influenced by psychological horror films, ghost stories, and portrayals of human capacity for evil. ... more
