Now I'm Dead

I wait
I wait for the darkness to take me
I wait
Here in the ground.

It's cold
Cold and alone, blood refreshes me
It's cold
Listening to human sounds.

It's nice here
In the dark
It's cold here
In the grave.

My bones creak
In my head
Brittle and break
Now I'm dead!

Worms will crawl
Through my flesh
Rats will gnaw
Upon my death!

Open the lid and look inside
You'll see someone died
Open your mind and be me
But you'll see my slavery un-free.

Dig the dirt out with your hands
Pierce my eyes get me out of this can
See the rot, tears sting your eyes
Don't weep for my I've said my goodbyes.

(chorus)

Now I'm dead, misled
Now I'm dead
Now I'm dead, enough said
Now I'm dead

My head aches
Through my ears
Only I forsake
All of my fears.

Maggots will slither
Into their place
Snakes come hither
Into my face.

Forget yourself and stow away
Lock yourself down with me today
As my flesh tears away in the night
See my eyes burn with the light.

Death has summoned me right here
I can be reborn devout of fear
Spread my wings and I can fly
Sprout new fangs blood doesn't lie.

(chorus)
