Awakening

(Album: Redeemer - 2019)

Reckless abandon
The vultures grin as they're ripping me limb from limb
Drain the blood
Cut me up
Slit my throat
Bells will toll

What a fine day for a funeral
Velvet rivers flow in crimson form
The undertaker pays his due
Corpse lips kissed in purple-blue
Darker than the darkness
I am the shadow
Life is all it ever meant
Death has never been the end

Drowning in chemicals
Forsaken by my kin

Here I am, here I am
My eyes awaken
Here I am, here I am
Alive but not breathing

Floating
Abandoning my body
Tell me, is this meant to be?
Surely I'm dead

What a fine day for the fake sorrows
Handshakes and frowns
The same as it ever was
What do they mean?
What would you say?

Here I am, here I am
My eyes awaken
Here I am, here I am
Alive but not breathing

No vessel, no body
The blood runs dry
My last drink of formaldehyde
No vessel, no body
I'm petrified
Can you carry on?
I'll carry on...

Darker than the darkness
I am the shadow
Life is all it ever meant
Death has never been the end
