Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Sleep and dream of this
Death angel's kiss
Brings final bliss
Completely
[Verse 2]
Empty they say
Death, won't you let me stay?
[Verse 3]
Empty they say
Death, hear me call your name
Call your name...
[Verse 4]
...suicide
I've already died
You're just the funeral I've been waiting for
[Verse 5]
...cyanide
Living dead inside
Break this empty shell forever more
[Verse 6]
Wait, wait patiently
Your death black wings
Unfolding sleep
Spreading o'er me
[Verse 7]
Empty they say
Death, won't you let me stay?
[Verse 8]
Empty they say
Death, hear me call your name
Call your name...
[Verse 9]
...suicide
I've already died
You're just the funeral I've been waiting for
[Verse 10]
...cyanide
Living dead inside
Break this empty shell forever more
[Verse 11]
Say, is that rain or are they tears?
That has stained your concrete face for years
The crying, weeping, shedding strife
Year after year, life after life
[Verse 12]
An air of freshly broken ground
A concrete angel lit right down
Upon the grave which swallows fast
It's peace at last, peace at last!
[Verse 13]
Empty they say
Death, won't you let me stay?
[Verse 14]
Empty they say
Death, hear me call your name
Call your name...
[Verse 15]
...suicide
I've already died
You're just the funeral I've been waiting for
[Verse 16]
...cyanide
Living dead inside
Break this empty shell forever more
[Verse 17]
Forever more
Forever more
It's just the funeral I've been waiting for
