Buried Alive
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The poison is still in your veins
The poison I slipped in your drink
Never saw me, I am but a ghost
Never saw your dangerous host
Wake up, you're still alive
Wake up and die
All you can see in the darkness above
Is the white in my eyes
I'm standing on the edge of your grave
Looking down
Into the eyes of a dead
Buried alive, buried alive
Wake up, you're still alive
Wake up and die
How does it feel with my foot on your chest?
How does it feel?
Tell me and I might forget
How does it feel to be so out of breath?
How does it feel?
Tell me and I might forget
Buried alive, buried alive
He started struggling, oh the fool
Moonlight shining in his drool
I slammed the shovel straight between his eyes
Stay down!, I screamed
You're here to die
Never saw me, I am but a ghost
Never saw your dangerous host
Wake up, you're still alive
Wake up and die
All you can see in the darkness above
Is the white in my eyes
I'm standing on the edge of your grave
Looking down
Into the eyes of a dead
Buried alive, buried alive
No matter what it is you believe
You're lucky if you die in your sleep
Murder!, he screamed — Oh why?
But that's a lie
You killed me first, so now die
I'm dead, but you die
I'm gonna bury you alive
Murder!, he screamed — Oh why?
