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).

Left To Die Lyrics

Death

Put your life into their hands
Die for someone else
Now youre in the real world
Where pain and death are felt
The first blood shed does not seem real
Reality is what you feel
Dropping to your knees you pray
God wont make this go away
You will not return alive - left to die
Suffering until the end - left to die
Time stands still as you pass away
No more tomorrow this is you last day
On this [fucking] earth
Bodies fall onto the ground
Blood flies through the air
Shedded victims lie in pain
Death is never fair
Legs blown off, all hope is lost
A human life is what it cost
Others follow close behind
A real adventure they will find
You will not return alive - left to die
Suffering until the end - left to die
