Shadows lay across the ground like the dead Waiting to rise and fulfill what they couldn’t live And you can hear them in the whispers of the wind Their words slowly decay just like the corpse that lies within the dirt
We’ll fiercely battle death for more time When in our reflecting glass we stare a stranger in the eye You see this penance for our sin has only drained us of our lives But we move on
As I lay me down to sleep I pray that my soul is in good keeping As I plunge into the deep I pray for a heaven to wake up in
As the echoes fade in a sea of sound, I pray that you’re listening As the darkness falls swiftly all around, I pray someday you’ll find me As the echoes fade in a sea of sound, I pray that you’re listening As the darkness falls swiftly all around, I pray that you’ll see again
You keep your chest hollow to keep your mind fed You’re skipping ‘cross graves, you’re dancing with the dead You’re wearing thin and soon you’ll be gone
