I Will Return - The Black Dahlia Murder

When death so swiftly has coveted

The client from this plane

A journey forged in ice has just begun

A crystal line, entombment, preservation now awaits

Proceedings executed, hastily deceased to be encased

Encapsulated, ensured, the precious cargo safe

A pending resurrection rebirth

In the distant future, when advancements shall allow

A being to be made again anew

The brain to be implanted

Fused within a growth of cells

This vessel but a vehicle

To traverse this mortal realm

Pressurized, sealed in, ward off the mounting days

Retain, revived, rebirthed beyond the grave

Jealousy — some say it’s sickening

They merely can’t afford this highest form of luxury

To live again

To carry on the will, elite

To live again

Advancing through the centuries

Until the sky is black and the sun it never shows

'Til the whipping winds of nuclear winter cruelly blow

The gift of immortality has been bestowed

I will return, I will return

Cryonics!

Reanimate this life

Remake the fleshy juggernaut

In which the mind will ride

Cryonics!

A wisdom is preserved

Frozen forever, evolutionary curve

O, a renaissance of mad technology

Segregate the wise, eliminate the weak

O painstaking process, onward we weed

Reproduce the strong, eliminate

Heresy, some say it’s blasphemy

Assuring I’ll be in Hell when God is through with me To live again, to forge yourself anew

To live again, to face the Godless truth

Foolery, some say it’ll never be Fear will condemn such radical ideology

To live again, to stand above your brood

To live again, the phoenix raised, unbruised

Until the sky is black and the sun it never shows

'Til the whipping winds of nuclear winter cruelly blow

The gift of immortality has been bestowed

I will return, I will return!
