LYRICS
Bleeding wounds never cloath
even after death.
Murdered dead look on from beyond.
Never to return.
No way back at all, trapped.
Between life and death, we can't return to flesh.
I'm dead now, life has passed.
In the grave, no life left.
Move on to, the other side.
Rotten, I have died.
Murder, took my life away.
I will never rest.
Dead, reaching from the grave.
So cold in this place.
I'm dead now, life has passed.
In the grave, no life left.
Move on to, the other side.
Rotten, I have died.
Murder, took my life away.
I will never rest.
Dead, reaching from the grave.
So cold in this place.
No way back at all, trapped.
Between life and death, I will come back.
I think there's few mistakes (perhaps on riff C?).
Please send comments or corrections to

And enjoy playing C.Corpse !!!!!
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official CANNIBAL CORPSE tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
