Only the dead are free

us rest are stuck here

going about our lives

forever awaiting

our moment of passing

resenting every moment

we have to remain above the cold ground

preachers talk of heaven

promising bliss eternal

little do they know

there's only one way to go

We are never to return

cos we never truly leave

our souls are buried

along with our bones

nothing but rotting flesh

putrid stench and claustrophobia

as our final resting place

becomes a torture chamber

No escape

as an unanimated corpse you lie

caught in this feedback loop

watch yourself forever re-die

Only the cremated are free

the rest are stuck here

rotting in their graves

forever reliving

their moment of passing

regretting their decision

to be buried in suffocating earth

We arrive, we suffer

we perish, we linger

no rebirth, no salvation

no rest, only suffering
