Never Truly Dead

Horrid, feelings, things that have happened to me in
My life
Walls of stone, that entomb me
Never will see the light
Shadows, filter, takes a place in my mind
Forces unnatural, repel to me, a hopeless race against
Time

In a place at the wrong time
Shot through the neck, left paralyzed
Coroner presumes me to be dead
Nothing i do can change this
Everything i try is useless

Immobilized, i fear the night, the blackened cold
Engulfs
My body, try to cry, to show a sign, but no one can
Hear me

All the love, and all the shame
In a world now left behind
My life is stripped away
From the gun of a homicidal lunatic
There is no justice for a crime
The guilty go unpunished
Merciless criminal minds are running free in this
World

Angels come forth to take me to another place
Spiritual battle, i fight for my soul
They leave me there all alone
I am not dead

Mourners gather at my side to say their last goodbyes
Laying in my bed of death, they shut the lid down
Tight
Commended my body to the ground, ashes to ashes and
Dust to dust
Leaving me there, never knowing, that i was never
Truly dead

Immobilized, i fear the night, the blackened cold
Engulfs my body
Try to cry, to show a sign, but no one can hear me

All the love, and all the shame
In a world now left behind
My life is stripped away
From a gun of a homicidal lunatic
There is no justice for a crime
The guilty go unpunished
Merciless criminal minds are running free in this
World

Just leaving me there never knowing, that i was never
Truly dead
