Buried Alive lyrics

Dark and dampness lingers
in body and in soul.
Dead wall of stone I cry out
for twenty years alone.
Exanimate a penance
not fit for man nor beast.
Innocent of mortal sin,
do hear me out at least.

Man of strong mind and soul
deserves a second chance.
Just to see a glimpse of light
would warm my icy hands.

Any kin or family
just an echo in my mind.
Silence loudens tribulations
that I left behind.
Just then a beam of light projects
from underneath a rock.
Could it be escape I`m free.
I`ll dig my fingers raw.

Man of strong mind and soul
deserves a second chance.
Just to see a glimpse of light
would warm my icy hands.

Deep in your mind look for the answer,
it`ll be there.
Life, strange illusion,
stay low, it`ll take care.
Time is the sentence in which
you must abide.
Make sin your companion,
then Satan be your bride.

The tunnels deep and twisting
as I press my body through and through
Entrapped in this one way passage,
in light I must pursue and soon.
I grasp the bars at the end of my crawl,
as I gape down to the sea.
The skeleton of a man who tried,
a fool just like me.

Man of strong mind and soul
deserves a second chance.
Just to see a glimpse of light
would warm my icy hands.

Deep in your mind look for the answer,
it`ll be there.
Life, it`s a strange illusion,
take it slow, it`ll take care.
No time is the sentence in which
you must abide.
Make sin your companion,
then Satan be your bride.
