Lyrics
Surrounded By Skulls
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.
Closing the struggle for sense and reason.
Your eyes are wide open but you're still not seeing.
Doomed to fail through the choices you made -
a sentence of death, its yourself you betrayed.
An empty shell set to rot and decay -
pulled from the womb, taken straight to the grave...
Because you're dead, dead, dead is what you are.
Buried underground, you're surrounded by skulls.
Running scared, scared, scared is what you are.
The trophies of your past are nothing but your scars.
Because you're dead, dead, dead is what you are.
You cant see through the shit when your head is up your arse.
Running scared, scared, scared is what you are.
Buried underground, you're surrounded by skulls...
Taking strength from your faith, not reason.
Seeking your solace in a failed religion.
No escape from the oncoming storm -
the self-righteous path leads to hatred and scorn.
Ive seen your hate but there's no time to mourn -
the funeral planned before the child is born...
Because you're dead, dead, dead is what you are.
Buried underground, you're surrounded by skulls.
Running scared, scared, scared is what you are.
The trophies of your past are nothing but your scars.
Because you're dead, dead, dead is what you are.
You cant see through the shit when your head is up your arse.
Running scared, scared, scared is what you are.
Buried underground, you're surrounded by skulls...
A lifetime believing, a wasted existence.
A lifetime surrounded with no resistance.
Accepting your faith, you're the last to know -
reality hits you as you're dragged down below.
Eternal slumber an honor bestowed -
We may have lost heart but we never let go...
Because you're dead, dead, dead is what you are.
Buried underground, you're surrounded by skulls.
Running scared, scared, scared is what you are.
The trophies of your past are nothing but your scars.
Because you're dead, dead, dead is what you are.
You cant see through the shit when your head is up your arse.
Running scared, scared, scared is what you are.
Buried underground, you're surrounded by skulls...
