Cognitive - Rot Eternal (OFFICIAL)

Here’s what the band has to say about the new track: "Rot Eternal was the second song we had written for our upcoming album, and when we did our pre-production recording we kept coming back to the song and saying ‘man this is like, REALLY awesome.’ We ended up tossing the idea around of releasing it as a stand alone single, and eventually went with it.

The single felt so cool to us with riffs repeating themselves, a gigantic slam in the middle, and the unexpected outro all felt so natural to us. Tying it all up is artwork by Dahmer Art which captures the song's lyrical theme and everyone's favorite topic...ZOMBIES! We hope you all enjoy this stand alone single, and keep an eye out for the new record next year!"

LYRICS:
They appeared in the dead of night
Clawed from their Graves
Shambling corpses now alive
Returned to life
Concealing a plague betwixt their jaws
Tooth and claw

Cadaverous
Pallid flesh
Flounders forth
They are coming
Ghoulish fiends
Caught between
Life and death
None will survive

Rise from your Grave
To kill and maim
Spread the disease
Lambs to slaughter
Your sons and daughters
Rise from your Grave
To kill and maim
Spread the disease
Lambs to slaughter
Your sons and daughters

Dead to the world
In the land of the living

They appeared in the dead of night
Clawed from their Graves
Shambling corpses now alive
Returned to life
Concealing a plague betwixt their jaws
Tooth and claw

Cadaverous
Pallid flesh
Flounders forth
They are coming
Ghoulish fiends
Caught between
Life and death
None will survive

Rise from your Grave
To kill and maim
Spread the disease
Lambs to slaughter
Your sons and daughters
Rise from your Grave
To kill and maim
Spread the disease
Lambs to the slaughter
