[Verse 1]

Sudden Wall of sleep arrives

In my bed, I can't awake

Faintly I can hear their cry

Novena for my soul

Death in life, boxed in a case

In my Sunday's best

Underground, one thousand pounds

Crushing down upon my chest

[Verse 2]

Family gazing over me

Mourning their goodbyes

Why can't I answer them?

This is all a lie!

Lowered in a pit of fate

Lamentation of the end

Forget it all, it's over now

We'll never see him again

[Verse 3]

Padded prison, living tomb

Silent hell in which I wake!

Scream in fear, no one can hear

Minutes left my life's at stake

[Verse 4]

Scratch and pound, and kick in vain

Claustrophobic waves send me wild

Gasp thin air, realize the end is near

They buried me when I was alive!

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 5]

Cause of death was never confirmed

Did he really die?

Get permission from the state

To save his precious life

[Verse 6]

Force of pressure in my brain

Capillaries burst and drown my cries

Distant sounds of digging through the earth

Are they real, or wishful thinking lies?

[Verse 7]

Padded prison, living tomb

Silent hell in which I wake!

Scream in fear, no one can hear

Minutes left my life's at stake

Thank you, Jesus, here they come

To save me from my final breath

Wretch in sorrow, disgusted they turn

From my horrified face of death
