Fates Warning - Buried Alive Lyrics
Dark and dampness lingersin body and in soul.Dead wall of stone I cry outfor twenty years alone.Exanimate a penancenot fit for man nor beast.Innocent of mortal sin,do hear me out at least.Man of strong mind and souldeserves a second chance.Just to see a glimpse of lightwould warm my icy hands.Any kin or familyjust an echo in my mind.Silence loudens tribulationsthat I left behind.Just then a beam of light projectsfrom underneath a rock.Could it be escape I'm free.I'll dig my fingers raw.Man of strong mind and souldeserves a second chance.Just to see a glimpse of lightwould 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 whichyou must abide.Make sin your companion,then Satan be your bride.The tunnels deep and twistingas I press my body through and throughEntrapped 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 souldeserves a second chance.Just to see a glimpse of lightwould 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 whichyou must abide.Make sin your companion,then Satan be your bride.
