Radio Werewolf - Buried Alive

Copied!edit Lyrics
original text at lyrnow.com/1993670
Shadows falling in the twilight
In the distance bells chime midnight
Time moves so slow in this graveyard

Voices call in desperation

In this abyss I'm descending
Now this nightmare's neverending
Sweet corruption comes to kiss me
Now your prayers can never bless me

They lowered me into a hole in the Earth!
Then they shoveled in the dirt!
I can still hear the sound of the creaking lid!
Last Nail in the coffin when they hammеr me in!

I've been buried alivе!
No one to tell!
This isn't heaven!
This isn't Hell!

Embalming fluid lows through my veins
Soft decay of my last remains
Pretty flowers wilt on my grave
Now I know I cannot be saved
Cold despair of death engulfs me
Final heartbeat slowly pulsing
Light is fading- endless evening
Limbo's darkness now devours me

Home sweet home is the catacomb
Home sweet home is the catacomb

There's been a mistake! I wanted to scream!
Somebody pinch me tell me this is a dream!

I've been buried alive!
Woe without end!
The worms and the maggots are my only friend!
Buried alive!
No one to tell!
This isn't heaven!
This isn't Hell!

I took the anger of gods
When I stole the scroll of Thoth
For darkness and all men's last caress
I knelt by the bed of death

They lower me into a hole in the Earth!
Then they shoveled in the dirt!
I can still hear the sound of the creaking lid!
Last nail in the coffin when they hammer me in!
I've been buried alive!
Woe without end!
The worms and the maggots are my only friends!

Home sweet home is the catacomb
Home sweet home is the catacomb
