Eternal Sleep Lyrics

Deep within my heart a black tumour grows larger
My vision fades, my ears go mute, so begins an eternal sleep

The vessel to carry my soul is delayed by the faithful
The bridge leading to paradise: Nothing but ashes

Carve your message into stone
If you want to leave something
To be remembered by
To not be blown away in the wind like the rest

Craving to seek better fortune now seems just as pointless
As running from the inevitable
Relieved as a demon or reborn as an angle
Confined by your good deeds and defined by your sins

The illusion of a second chance, like a siren it pulls me in
I'm strapped down on a torture bench, I am stuck right where I left

A flower blossoms in a field of chemical fallout
A light, green and bright, filling me with delight, emerges from the ground

Immediately I'm blind, deaf, mute and paralyzed
No way to know, if I'm dead or alive
Receiving a voice right inside of my mind
Telling me "Don't be afraid, your time is right!"

Relieved as a demon or reborn as an angle
Confined by your good deeds and defined by your sins

Where will I go? Who will I be?
Will I get a fresh soul?
Will I revisit old skin?
Or will I forever sleep?
