| Silent murmurs fall on deafened ears Tell me, Gabriel, am I dead? My morbid angel, only you seem to know I move, I touch, but I can't feel Is their warmth to this place, or just heat? I find myself surrounded by cold granite slabs Am I in a mausoleum? Whispers in the distance I twist and turn, seeking the source Even as I move, I stand still I sleep while awake And move in a daze of selfishly forsaken fools My sweet morbid angel, I fear without thought of self preservation How can one worry over the life of the unliving? Am I already gone without leaving? A shadow cast upon the ground, Haunting the fetters of a life long past? Speak to me! I taste the rancid cling of each word I must be dead, for no human being could endure this... this constant nothing A void where once thrived dreams, memories, conscious thought If I am mistaken, Gabriel, my unknown love, Then strike me down For nothing is as unbearable as a half-life Among half-wits and half-truths. |
