The day began as a living mausoleum
There wasn't one man that could find light or freedom
From living like dead men without a reason
We needed something to strengthen, not weaken
The unborn revelation
Of feeling defeated by demons
Isn't what we wanted to believe in

We were stiff like statues
We didn't want to die not knowing the truth
The anguish withdrew
The joy and turned into
A feeling we never knew
Faith popped like a balloon
Because hope departed a little too soon

Each of us had one foot in the grave
Our souls were dark like caves
Our minds were lost in a maze
Our hearts began to decay
Our veins bursted like grenades
There was no way to escape
Grief treating us like slaves
