A zombie (Haitian French: zombi, Haitian Creole: zonbi) is a fictional undead being created through the reanimation of a human corpse. Zombies are most commonly found in horror and fantasy genre works. The term comes from Haitian folklore, where a zombie is a dead body reanimated through various methods, most commonly magic. Modern depictions of zombies do not necessarily involve magic but often invoke science fictional methods such as radiation or viruses.
The English word "zombie" is first recorded in 1819, in a history of Brazil by the poet Robert Southey, in the form of "zombi". The Oxford English Dictionary gives the origin of the word as West African, and compares it to the Kongo words nzambi (god) and zumbi (fetish).
One of the first books to expose Western culture to the concept of the voodoo zombie was The Magic Island by W.B. Seabrook in 1929. This is the sensationalized account of a narrator who encounters voodoo cults in Haiti and their resurrected thralls. Time claimed that the book "introduced 'zombi' into U.S. speech".

My clothes are ripped and torn.
We'll bring the dead to life, if you'll meet me at the shore.
I see them marching, torches in hand.
We've awaken the dead.
My stomach is turning.
You better believe it's turning
Oh dear, Oh dear, could you send the news?
Oh dear, Oh dear, I've come to rescue you.
I can taste it, I can taste it
I can taste the salty ocean brew.
I can brake it, I can brake it.
I can brake the spell cast over you.
We've awaken the dead, and they've got a taste for blood.
They're no match for a sharpened sword and a loaded gun.
You never, you never looked so beautiful to me.
I'm ready to show you the man I can be.
You never, you never looked so beautiful to me.
I can taste it, I can taste it,
I can taste the salty ocean brew.
I can brake it, I can brake it,
I can brake the spell cast over you.
We've awaken the dead, and they've got a taste for blood.
They're no match for a sharpened sword and a loaded gun.
I've been jumping over alligators, trying to cross the deadly moat,
With a pocket full of detonators,
Trying to blow the zombie's boat.
I've been jumping over alligators, trying to cross the castle moat.
The guillotine is licking his lips for the taste of blood on my throat.
I can taste it, I can taste it,
I can taste the salty ocean brew.
I can brake it, I can brake it,
I can brake the spell cast over you.
I can taste it, I can taste it,
