Afterlife

Deep down something hurts Deep down something aches Deep down something cries Deep down something dies Trying to uncage the beast To honour the deceased With the vain attempt The cover remains kempt The frosted hollow stone The icy cold bone The flawless mask The unmarred facade The soul tries to cry Just a futile try But then the night arrived And it was all kept aside With a deafening shriek The beast set free Eyes turning red The carcass lay on the bed Demons underneath Took over the feast They danced all night A dreadful sight The soul tried to cry Just a futile try The demons were awakened But the gala had to end Because the sun came up The soul now corrupt Was returned to the corpse As time collapses and space warps The decaying ruins Forgot all about the fairy tail bruins Every morning the hollow shell roams around Every night demons emerge from the ground The soul tries to cry Just a futile try
