Alaina Macdonald - A Poem to the Dead lyrics

A world away you seem to find the solitude Of a thousand lifetimes and a thousand silences Where no one roams and no one speaks in turn This be your domain, a possessive future land Versatility is the decoration as is the d**h But is it really d**h that stirs in the blood? Or is the fear of living? The smell of buring flesh is polluting the air The air burning in its fickle defeat And the silence screams a thousand answers to the unsuspecting mind The nothingness is secretive as you ponder your replies Then sink into a restless and unforgiving delusion Demons scream their curses as you toss and turn in fear And spirits clawing upward shriek for sweet release The sweetness revolts the human mind and screeches in your ears As you block them now to silence the pain of that unending night Suddenly you awake from the unsuspected dream Before plunging down a vortex filled with dark and night Altruism fades as the darkness makes you run Faster and faster as creatures then surround you Running as you fall like a child to a doctor's bed, O the horror and the hell that you can see in here Defiance now is fading, accept your future vision Screaming on your knees and pleading for release Swirling down the pit, the vortex and despair And so, you enter the New World.
