Lyrics

HAUNTED

Standing under the shadows of death
Standing under the shadows of all those beautiful haunting memories
The broken hopes, the shattered dreams
Smashed to pieces or so it seems
Playing out this masquarade
We call life

Those near and dear
Will all pass away
Gone and no more
Wiped from the face of this Earth

Embrace endless night in its infinity
Will I wake from this numbing state of bleak
Will my inner self live beyond its
Tattered robes of cloaking flesh worn by life?s miseries
Matched with the broken bones of an abused sanity

All the living joined in a one common fate wondering
Are we all just spirits confined in a timed bodily prison of vile flesh
Try to come to term with bittersweet and beautiful grief

The child or the parent weeping the loss
Asks why
The prey on Death?s door
All ask why
The same question of why
Come join the haunted
By the great question why

Why must we die

What fate awaits us all
What?s to befall us

All that is born will pass away
Must it disappear and fade away?
Slip through a one way door to emptiness?
Visions of the void brings but madness
They haunt me

Standing under the shadows of Death
Gone in time for sure cause time wipes away all blood and all tears
Haunted by those memories
In the twilight of my years
Caught in the twisted bliss of mournful tears

The final curtain casts its shadow
Yes the shadows
Asking them as you feel you body rebels in its final throes

Why must we die

Have I seen the sun set for the last time
Is this end or just a new journey
All life must perish and die
We?ll all face death and ask
Why must we die

All the loved ones, the hated ones
Friends, enemies and foes
The echoes of triumphs and defeats
Feats of goods deeds and the bad
Voices are calling from inside my head
I can hear them calling me
Vanishing memories
'Cause yesterday's glories
Have gone away, so far away

A fierce storm rages inside my soul.
The body betrays as it will become a corpse
The spirit will it live
Always, the question, those shadows

Will my spirit live on?

Why must we die
What will happen to us
Is there life forever after
Why must we die
