A little-known story, from the annals of the Jackverse.
Prior to the release of Cry Zombie Cry, I was working with the band UNSUN (who appears in the book Cry Zombie Cry) to write the lyrics for their next album. I had the lyrics complete and was anxiously awaiting the recording of the album so we could do a simultaneous release of the album and the book.
Unfortunately, Aya wound up with a debilitating affliction and was unable to continue on as the singer for the band. UNSUN then disbanded and the album project was no more. I went ahead with the release of Cry Zombie Cry and tucked the lyrics away. Well, it’s now time to publish those lyrics for all to enjoy. I will release them, one at a time, here on the Jackverse. The first was to be the title song.
Cry Zombie Cry
Undone in a single moment
Unsaved by relentless torment
Chaos has become my lover
Kiss me like you would no otherListen to my cry
Unsprung by our own devices
Unwound around your lovely vices
Dance with me undead corruption
Heal your death with our corrosionSwallow down our cry
I know the reason
My heart beats your treason
Die inside and weave your lie
Cry Zombie CryI see the strange behavior
My soul has lost its savior
Die with with me and end your lie
Cry Zombie CryUnsaved are forgotten moments
Unchained by our passions stolen
Your moans I’ll forever hear
Through my anguish and my tearsCan you hear my cry
Unsee, take away this nightmare
Untouch my flesh so I cannot be aware
The pale, cold hand of death is close
Please give to me your lethal doseTake away my cry
I know the reason
My heart beats your treason
Die inside and weave your lie
Cry Zombie CryI see the strange behavior
My soul has lost its savior
Die with with me and end your lie
