Buried Alive

The desert is always hot.

As the world has gone dry
The vultures circling around
Heat of the desert is high
Soon, I'll be down underground

The grave you had set for me
Of a reason remains unknown
Deeper the hole, it shall be
Because your heart turned stone

I never crossed my mind
For this day to come
And I guess I was all blind
You were all loathsome

You hold the scythe
You are my reaper
Content and blithe
Entombing me deeper
My angel of lies

You stole my soul
With no compassion
Deeper the tomb's hole
Holding no impression
My keeper of flies

Now, I shall fall

(Chorus)

Dig the grave and write my name
Forcing me to leave before my time
Against my will in the sands of shame
Swallowed by the earth with no crime
Would you cover me and tuck me in
Give me one last goodbye of hate
Loathe of a kiss I witness a grin
Are you exiting this unwritten fate
Leave me be

(Guitar solo 1)

As the storm had picked up in the distance
Lies you behold within feels any resistance
Questioning your choice for this final curtain
Leaving me for the worms is filled with pain
I thought I knew you when we first accost
Erratic minds for I now feel very lost
My heart was pure which you crushed it to dust
Were you never impressed by my love and lust

You have forsaken me down in the desert
The sands of time blinding me through the eyes
Drought within my passion stabbed and hurt
It is the reason I never saw through your disguise

You're...

MY SOUL... MY LOVE... MY HATE... MY REAPER

(Guitar solo 2)

(Chorus)

Leave me be
Leave me be...

...in the dust of your hate
As we shatter our own fate
As the ground devours me whole
For no bell shall it toll
The scythe is the spade
NOW, YOU WATCH ME... AS I FADE!!!

LEAVE ME BE FOREVERMORE
WHY DO I STILL LOVE YOU

(Outro solo)
