Buried To Die

(album: Twisted Horror - 2020)

Lofty goals are ill-conceived
With higher learning no reprieve
It's a shakedown six feet deep
From your stones the blood will weep
Crushed beneath a mortarboard
Cranial fractures along the fore
Inhalation becomes a chore
Your aspirations are no more

Under plans connived
Struggling to survive
You are buried to die to die!

Buried to die
Buried to die

Your pockets emptied of all scrip
The plot is dug to cash your chips
As mortal fortunes are bogarted
A fool and his life are soon parted
Entombed by methods byzantine
Acrid breaths from venting spleen
You can't live beyond your means
A deadbeat smashed to smithereens

Blood pressure runs high
As the end draws high
You are buried to die to die!

Buried to die
Buried to die

Buried to die
Buried to die

Unable to writhe
Cut down by the scythe
You are buried to die to die!

Buried to die
Buried to die
Buried to die
You are buried to die
