Postmortem

Hanneman

Funeral held
For the depression of man
Holds the key to his own death
Entering a tomb
Of a corpse yet conceived
Tighten the tourniquet
Around your neck

Sifting away
The debris of hated life
Cold touch of death
Begins to chill your spine
Seeking life
Beyond your perishment
Repeating words echoing Through your mind

Chanting lines of blind witchery
To save yourself from extinction
Wanting to die
Is your reason to live
New life born from the oppressed

Taste your blood
As it trickles through the air
Another casualty
Beyond the shadows you fall
Losing ground
The fate you feel
It draws near
Fatality, reality
You await the final call

My sinful glare at nothing
Holds thoughts of death behind it
Skeletons in my mind
Commence tearing at my sanity
Vessels in my brain
Carry death until my birth
Come and die with me forever
Share insanity

Do you want to die!

The waves of blood are rushing near
Pounding at the walls of lies
Turning off my sanity
Reaching back into my mind
Non-rising body from the grave
Showing new reality
What I am
What I want
I'm only after death
