Surrounded by Skulls - The Rotted

Closing the struggle for sense and reason

Your eyes are wide open but you’re still not seeing

Doomed to fail through the choices you made —

A sentence of death, its yourself you betrayed

An empty shell set to rot and decay —

Pulled from the womb, taken straight to the grave…

Because you’re dead, dead, dead is what you are

Buried underground, you’re surrounded by skulls

Running scard, scared, scared is what you are

The trophies of your past are nothing but your scars

Because you’re dead, dead, dead is what you are

You can’t see through the shit when your head is up your arse

Running scared, scared, scared is what you are

Buried underground, you’re surrounded by skulls…

Taking strength from your faith, not reason

Seeking your solace in a failed religion

No escape from the oncoming storm —

The self-righteous path leads to hatred and scorn

I’ve seen your hate but there’s no time to mourn —

The funeral planned before the child is born…

Because you’re dead, dead, dead is what you are

Buried underground, you’re surrounded by skulls

Running scared, scared, scared is what you are

The trophies of your past are nothing but your scars

Because you’re dead, dead, dead is what you are

You can’t see through the shit when your head is up your arse

Running scared, scared, scared is what you are

Buried underground, you’re surrounded by skulls…

A lifetime believing, a wasted existence

A lifetime surrounded with no resistance

Accepting your faith, you’re the last to know —

Reality hits you as you’re dragged down below

Eternal slumber an honor bestowed —

We may have lost heart but we never let go…

Because you’re dead, dead, dead is what you are

Buried underground, you’re surrounded by skulls

Running scared, scared, scared is what you are

The trophies of your past are nothing but your scars

Because you’re dead, dead, dead is what you are

You can’t see through the shit when your head is up your arse

Running scared, scared, scared is what you are

Buried underground, you’re surrounded by skulls…
