Death was one of the pioneering death metalbands, headed by metal legend Chuck Schuldiner. The band underwent many lineup changes during its history, with Chuck Schuldinerbeing the only mainstay throughout the lifetime of the group. Founded under the name of Mantas, in Orlando, Florida, after a couple of demo tapes were released, Chuck had decided to change the name to " Death", in 1985. Soon after, amidst a few band changes, their first full-length; Scream Bloody Gore, was released in 1987, planting Florida firmly in the roots of death metal's beginnings, and starting it on its way to becoming the death metal scene of today. By 1990, Deathhad released Leprosyand Spiritual Healing, and taking on-board journeyman guitarist James Murphy(who later went on to play for Obituary, Cancer, and even Nevermoreat one point, among others).

Brought to this world to wither away
Naive about the ways of life is what they say
Millions live millions die, more are yet to come
Living skeletons - where they come from
Born dead into this world
To starve and rot in agony
Born dead into this world
Its their choice, why cant you see
Life of misery, soon a corpse you be
As bones show through, nothing you can do
Relief does not exist
When you are born to die
Disease spreads fast across their dying world
Many cemeteries they will have to build
As process goes on for many years to come
A human waste land created when they are done
Born dead into this world
To starve and rot in agony
Born dead into this world
Its their choice, why cant you see
