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).

What do you want from me,
What is it you expect
I have spoken my mind from deep inside my soul
Behind the eyes is a place no one will be able to touch
Containing thoughts that cannot be taken away or replaced
You want what is not yours, jealousy
You want what you cannot have, jealousy
Spiteful harsh words, it comes as no real surprise.
Tell me what you are.
I cannot understand how you seem to exist
On what people create for you, good must turn bad.
Behind the eyes is a place no one will be able to touch.
Containing thoughts that cannot be taken away or replaced
You want what is not yours, jealousy
You want what you cannot have, jealousy
