Buried Alive

I forever dream within a dream

Of a certain city in the sea

As I walk the valley of unrest

Behind this mask of crimson death

I long for a loss of breath

And a most dire predicament

Murders in the rue morgue

Silence and shadow's what I adore

I can’t explain just how it feels

The thought of my premature burial

Inside this oblong box I lie

With the hopes I’ll be buried alive

The oval portrait upon the wall

Will someday cause this house to fall

The power of words left unsaid

As I join the spirits of the dead

I can't explain just how it feels

The thought of my premature burial

Inside this oblong box I lie

With the hopes I’ll be buried alive

Well, I’m the man who's used up

Washed up

Bricked up

Descent into maelstrom

Bedlam

Redrum

Bet the devil my head

Misled

Bloodshed

Heart under the floorboards

Beats for

Lenore

Nevermore

I can’t explain just how it feels

The thought of my premature burial

Inside this oblong box I lie

With the hopes I’ll be buried alive
