Lyrics
Darkness coats us
The smell of fall
Changing season
The graveyard is alive, black cat across my path
The chill of cold wind, the breath of the dead
Imprisoned souls
Trapped for eternity
Black crows break the silence, the garden of the deads
Alive tonight and you can't stop it, just enjoy it
Open up your mind and you will feel it too
The sound, the touch, the thoughts that you've been so blind to
You can feel the thoughts of the dead
Feeling the thoughts of the dead
True or false, it's still there, teaching me
True or false, still there, teaching me
You can feel it tonight, the wood has rotted away
Take the time, absorb it, their time is slipping away
Stone all carved by hand, statues that resemble their faces
They still breathe, come join us
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Smell the burning embers, time flickering away
Timeless but soon gone, timeless but soon gone
Smell the burning embers, time flickering away
Timeless but soon gone, timeless but soon gone
Smell the burning embers, time flickering away
Timeless but soon gone, timeless but soon gone
And I can find myself alone with just my thoughts
As time crumbles away, time crumbles away
Smell the burning embers, time flickering away
Timeless but soon gone, timelesss, but soon gone
And I can find myself alone with just my thoughts
As time crumbles away, time crumbles away, yeah
