Staring Through The Eyes Of The Dead
Cannibal Corpse · Live Cannibalism [2000]
Why can't I breathe
Still I see
Dead on the table
Try to move, I'm not able to
They said I have died
I still feel alive
I won't believe their lies
I can still see through these
Eyes
Help me I'm not dead
Wake me from this hell
Tell me I'm alive
Dead
Knives cutting into me
Scalpels rip me
Screaming into deaf ears
Now they stop and see my tears
Help me I'm not dead
Wake me from this hell
Tell me I'm alive
Dead
I can't stop the visions
Stop the premonitions
Help me I'm not dead
Wake me from this hell
Tell me I'm alive
Dead
My soul can't escape
The boundary of my flesh
My heart does not beat
My spirit will not rest
They said I have died
I still feel alive
I won't believe their lies
I can still see through these
Eyes
Still I see
Dead on the table
Try to move, I'm not able to
They said I have died
I still feel alive
I won't believe their lies
I can still see through these
Eyes
Help me I'm not dead
Wake me from this hell
Tell me I'm alive
Dead
Knives cutting into me
Scalpels rip me
Screaming into deaf ears
Now they stop and see my tears
Help me I'm not dead
Wake me from this hell
Tell me I'm alive
Dead
I can't stop the visions
Stop the premonitions
Help me I'm not dead
Wake me from this hell
Tell me I'm alive
Dead
My soul can't escape
The boundary of my flesh
My heart does not beat
My spirit will not rest
They said I have died
I still feel alive
I won't believe their lies
I can still see through these
