For all you Obituary fans who've ever heard John Tardy's vocals and thought, "What the fuck is he saying?"...

Of corpse, this is just a joke. He's not actually singing that. Ehhh, except for the Slowly We Rot... who knows, ....maybe.

Actually, on their first studio release, Slowly We Rot, John Tardy basically didn't write any lyrics. He simply screamed a few things that sounded cool. Dumb as it sounds, it's fact.  Obituary is living proof that you don't really need lyrics in death metal to be awesome, just a singer with some hideously grotesque vocal delivery.

Here's some lyrics I found on the web for the song World Demise. Since Obituary never printed lyrics in their albums, I suppose this comes pretty close to what he's actually saying, sounds like it to me anyway. Sometimes it's fun to make a game of it. What is cookie monster pissed about? Listen to the album and write down what you THINK he's saying. Then go back and read the lyrics printed in the CD booklet while the song plays. OOHHHHH! So THAT'S what he's saying! Well fuck me sideways, Mr. Magoo!

OBITUARY - World Demise (from World Demise - 1994)
I have found, you have found
Before you, living grown.
Come to pain, for life.
Follow my fear, existing to die.

The coming fall and following in my steps.
Do live out all my life.
Do remain in constant fear.
Going to sigh and hasten to burn.

I'm the one who finds and paid to live in your light
And with the light, a cross between sin.
The fall to two. lies great divide, in silence.
And counting graves lies full.

Go to die.
Come to burn.
World demise.

Go we'll die.
The shocked earth groans.
The world demise.

World demise.
Go to die.
Come to burn.

The world demise
World demise. [x2]
