Notes:

In July of 1998, the band entered Oblivion Studios in Upper Marlboro, MD and re-recorded four past Deceased tracks, After The Bloodshed, Vomiting Blood, Immune To Burial & Sick Thrash. Deceased had originally planned to release another edition of "Death Metal From The Grave" called "More Death Metal From The Grave". These four songs were to be included on the "More Death Metal From The Grave" release with other rare music from the band. The cd cover was drawn up and tracks were chosen, sadly it never surfaced. Instead, these four tracks were released on the "The Radiation Years" cd as bonus tracks and "More Death Metal From The Grave" was scraped.

Birth By Radiation

We have been risen from out of the grave
For something's disturbed our sleep
Nuclear waste has awakened us all
Bringing pain to those Deceased
We don't know why we are alive
Our bodily functions are dead
Inflicted mutants rising from death
And back to a life we once led.....

We beg for peace, dead and free, from the world

A nuclear leak has reversed the procedure
Of death the eternal sleep
Why are we here back on this earth?
To march and to stalk and creep?
We are the Dead and we want our peace
So put us back in the grave
Letting us rest in afterlife's hands
An intense mysterious place.....

We beg for peace, dead and free, from the world

Birth by Radiation!!

Nuclear Exorcist

It's not the end, we are suffering on
An endless world filled with pain, how we hate the pain
Mentally slaughtered by evil, and disturbed are our minds
But we shall return all the madness, for soon is our time...

We are our savior, the only one!!!

The air is toxic to breathe, the skies have all come undone
Will anyone see the next century, but was it really to come?
Seasons and weather will vanish, and so will the once burning sun
Never again is god going to win, for the downfalls already begun...

Nuclear Exorcist!!!

Shrieks From The Hearse

Mammoth to man morbid to god it's coming to take them away
Coming in sight viewing in fright say goodbye to today
Collecting the living collecting the dead
It matters not what you are
The hearse has arrived so step up inside
And into a world so bizarre

Everyone rides no one denied the hearse has no mercy for you
No one can plead no one can beg nothing is all that you can do

Created by god to take them from earth

And to a place their home built from dirt

Shrieks from the hearse!! Shrieks from the hearse!!
Leaving them waiting for their demise they stand all alone
And look the skies, to the skies!!
Brought unto us, god's own dark curse,
Why must they die? Shrieks from the hearse.....

Below The Tombstone

Planet Graveyard

Empty world of nothing universe of the past
Silent place of mourning history of mishaps
Wipe away the future for it is gone forever
Gone forever...

Earth...A dying future
Earth...A barren wasteland
Earth...Forgotten hellhole
The planet graveyard!!!

Empty world of nothing doom has come and then gone
Planet graveyard buried drained of life for so long
Torn apart by mankind life just could not go on
Could not go on...

And so the planet dies!!!
Entire world is gone!
Into the void they go!
The funeral's begun!
Begun!!!

Futuristic Doom

Doom!!

Destructions ready to unfold, death is what the future holds
Hate's the boiling over in the mutants slowly planning
Their dark revenge of the savior of death

Death!!

Earth, has, no, future.....

Doom!!

The coven of the hateful prepared
For the overpowering of the god
Revenge would bring vindication
Revenge would finally bring peace.....

Peace.....Peace.....Peace.....

Haunted Cerebellum

It crawled in his mind out of hate a parasite was born from their fate
Oozing its way into the brain of a symbol they once called god
To rip and to tear shatter and kill awful destruction is now fulfilled

All their lives they believed the word
And all their lives they believed in trust
And all their lives they believed in truth
But in death they will see the light

Possessed and squirming insane a nervous blood runs through his veins
Paying the price destroying the lives of mankind who lived by the lord
They ripped and they tore shattered and killed and the awful destruction
Has been fulfilled, has been fulfilled.....

Falling dead from the shock a tortured mind has come unlocked
Spilling out the secrets of the mind telling them the

Future awaiting all mankind
A journey into visions psychedelic dreams futuristic terror
What eternity will bring
Looking towards the heavens a gloomy evil sun staring at a
Legend it is done and god is gone.....

Haunted Cerebellum!!

After The Bloodshed

Believe in the evil of war
You're holding the key, the key to death's door
Unlock the bloodshed and what do you find
The victor of battle satanic black minds

After the bloodshed what will you be?
A world of corpses shedding to feed
Hideous creatures a nuclear mess
Trapped up in cancer nothingness left after the bloodshed

Don't fear of war, was is today
Prepare to do battle, it's coming our way
The skies are now clouding, Hell's on their side
The bloodshed awaits terror, time, die

Sick Thrash

Today is amongst us let it all pass, the way to hope stands ahead
The future of the earth it lies in distaste so come out living or dead

Fear, dreadful, fear
Sick thrash

Dealing with losing thrash metal age
Before you know it you're gone
Awaiting the push to fall from your hook
And meet the almighty one

Fear, dreadful, fear
Sick thrash

Today is amongst us will you be free to hide from your one only fear
Sick thrash is ugly, Hell ridden yuk, it brings you to rotted tears

Fear, dreadful, fear - Sick thrash
