Stay Dead

Bet you'd like to get the freak show started But my moves work slow There's a presence here that I've imparted Centuries ago When the chilling of the night first hits you Then you'll know I'm there You can try to have the legends fix you But you won't be spared Balance exists that calls through the abyss And in the chaos I create again Go ahead, bury me I will not stay dead Hold me down, take my breath I will thrive instead Cheat the game, break my stride You'll see me again Like the plague, I will spread 'Cause I won't stay dead ('Cause I won't stay dead) ('Cause I won't stay dead) Flaunting danger like your head is empty But I've watched and learned You look like you never did expect me As if tides don't turn I've been known to win out with my patience There's no cure for fear You must think it's your imagination 'Cause the devil's here Risen from bone as the spirits come home When I awake with a message to send Go ahead, bury me I will not stay dead Hold me down, take my breath I will thrive instead Cheat the game, break my stride You'll see me again Like the plague, I will spread 'Cause I won't stay dead ('Cause I won't stay dead) You recall to the past And ascend this crevasse Fused with power, strong of will Guided hands fail you still All your might, gone to waste I will strike, leave no trace None can rise in my stead So why won't you just stay dead? Just stay dead Stay dead 'Cause I won't stay dead I will not stay dead Go ahead, bury me I will not stay dead Hold me down, take my breath I will thrive instead Cheat the game, break my stride You'll see me again Like the plague, I will spread 'Cause I won't stay dead ('Cause I won't stay dead) ('Cause I won't stay dead)
