Walking Talking Dead Man

from Legacy of the Anointed by Spiral Grave

lyrics

It’s buried me alive—past the point to be revived
Reality that hides inside the lie

It finally found me – whipped, tortured, bound me – a walking dead man
The strain – beyond it what will remain – a talking dead man

It’s clawing at my door—the beast maims me some more
I’d give my soul away if it would swallow up my eyes

It finally found me – whipped, tortured, bound me – a walking dead man
The strain – beyond it what will remain – a talking dead man

A common intuition warned me of the grief
Rose-colored spectacles wash away my disbelief
Conversation past the fact – accuse, overreact
Epiphany that seizes truth out of abstract
Blind to that truth – I pull the glasses from my face
The hues are gone – I carry on in shades of gray

A common intuition screamed to run away
Rose-colored spectacles lost forever and a day
Conversation rambles on inside my head
Truth and fable blend together running red
Believe in superstition – can’t get out alive
I’ve seen the beast up close – I will not survive
A thing I want no part of but am forced to deal
Oh how does it feel?

It finally found me – whipped, tortured, bound me – a walking dead man
The strain – beyond it what will remain – a talking dead man
