Lyrics[]
Take the time just to listen
When the voices screaming are much too loud
Take a look in the distance
Try and see it all
Chances are that you might find
That we share a common discomfort now
I feel I'm walking a fine line
Tell me only if it's real
Still I'm on my way (on and on it goes)
Vacant hope to take
HEY! I can't live in here for another day
Darkness has kept the light concealed, grim as ever
Hold onto faith as I dig another grave
Meanwhile the mice endure the wheel, real as ever
And it seems I've been Buried Alive
I walked the fields through the fire
Taking steps until I found solid ground
Followed dreams reaching higher, couldn't survive the fall
Much has changed since the last time
And I seem a little less certain now
You know I jumped at the first sign
Tell me only if it's real
Memories seem to fade (on and on it goes)
Wash my view away
HEY! I can't live in here for another day
Darkness has kept the light concealed, grim as ever
Hold onto faith as I dig another grave
Meanwhile the mice endure the wheel, real as ever
And I'm chained like slave, trapped in the dark, slammed all the locks
Death calls my name, and it seems I've been Buried Alive
Take you down now, burn it all out, throw you all around
Keep your fucking HANDS OFF ME!
What's it feel like, took the wrong route, watch it fall apart
Now you're knocking AT THE WRONG GATE!
For you to take a toll, a price for you alone
The only deal you'll find, I'll gladly take your soul
While it seems sick, sober up quick, psycho lunatic
Crushing you with HANDS OF FATE!
Shame to find out, when it's too late, but you're all the same
Trapped inside INFERNO AWAITS!
Evil thoughts can hide, I'll help release the mind
I'll peal away the skin, release the dark WITHIN!
This is now your life, strike you from the light
This is now your life, die Buried Alive
This is now you're life (what's it feel like)
Strike you from the light (gladly taking your soul)
This is now your life (what's it feel like) die Buried Alive (gladly taking your soul)
This is now your life, die Buried Alive
