The last brick has been placed 

Trapped in a wall of stone 

Buried without a trace 

Left to rot to the bone 

Two men had been close friends 

Fought a war side by side 

Greed and lust lead to the end 

One man buried alive 



[Chorus] 

The undead has life 

Essence of Evil 

Crawling and crawling 

Stair after stair 

It cries in the night 

Essence of Evil 

Revenge on the one 

That has put it there 



So one talks of a truce 

He lures the other to his home 

Let us drink and forget 

The reason we walk alone 

A smile on his face 

But murder is on his mind 

A taste of poison too late 

How could he have been so blind 



[Chorus] 



Upstairs the killer sleeps 

As its clawing tooth and nail 

Raw flesh finds loose stone 

It escapes from its jail 

And now the killer wakes 

As the door swings open wide 

The essence has sealed his fate 

There is nowhere to hide 



[Chorus]
