Cyanide

Cyanide
Sleep and dream of this
Death angel's kiss
Brings final bliss
Don't believe it!
Empty, are they?
Death, won't you let me stay?
"Empty!" they say
Death wants to call your name
Ooh, call your name!

Suicide! I've already died!
It's just the funeral I've been waiting for
Cyanide! Feeling dead inside
Break this empty shell forevermore
Wait, wait patiently
Pure death, black wings
On soaring sleep
Spreading for me!
"Empty!" they say
Death, won't you let me stay?
"Empty!" they say
Death, hear me call your name!
Ooh, call your name!
Suicide! I've already died!
It's just the funeral I've been waiting for
Cyanide! Feeling dead inside!
Break this empty shell forevermore
Hey is that rain or are they tears?
That stained your concrete face for years
Crying, weeping, shedding strife
Year after year
Life after life
And in the freshly broken ground
A concrete angel laid right down
A calm anew that's swallowed fast
It's peace at last,
Oh peace at last!

"Empty!" they say
Death, won't you let me stay?
"Empty!" they say
Death, hear me call your name!
Ooh, call your name!
Suicide! I've already died!
It's just the funeral I've been waiting for
Cyanide! Feeling dead inside!
Break this empty shell forevermore
Forevermore!
Forevermore!
It's the funeral I've been waiting for!
