Death In Vain

Sudden Wall of sleep arrives In my bed, I can't awaken Faintly I can hear their cry Novena for my soul Death in life, boxed in a case In my Sunday's best Underground, one thousand pounds Crushing down upon my chest Family gazing over me Mourning their goodbyes Why can't I answer them? This is all a lie! Lowered in a pit of fate Lamentation of the end Forget it all, it's over now We'll never see him again Padded prison, living tomb Silent hell in which I wake! Scream in fear, no one can hear Minutes left my life's at stake Scratch and pound, and kick in vain Claustrophobic waves send me wild Gasp thin air, realize the end is near They buried me when I was alive!: Cause of death was never confirmed Did he really die? Get permission from the state To save his precious life Force of pressure in my brain Capillaries burst and drown my cries Distant sounds of digging through the earth Are they real, or wishful thinking lies? Padded prison, living tomb Silent hell in which I wake! Scream in fear, no one can hear Minutes left my life's at stake Thank you Jesus, here they come To save me from my final breath Wretch in sorrow, disgusted they turn From my horrified face of death
