Waking the dead

But when it does I walk through rooms That by neglect now feel like tombs Disturb the dust Locks sealed by rust hear echoes of the voices past And like a ghoul I dredge the pool For secrets sunk beneath the caul To push at doors sealed by time is dangerous For what lies behind can be relentless

Waking the dead is all but pointless It's all in the head But makes me reckless It makes me reckless

Will you now tell me something new That speaks to me across the years Or will it be like spin untrue A half-truth to increase my fears

Are you a fake? keeps me awake You promised gain delivered pain Your eyes I see look less than sane And when you talk Just like a hawk You circle round to hunt and stalk

Mix lies with truth Show me half proof And drag me down Deep underneath Where all is dark And hope found wanting

So like a fox I'll keep the Hounds at bay And fight until the break of day

Waking the dead.....etc.

I'll keep both my eyes open I'll keep my ears pinned to the ground I'll check I'm not being followed I'll check that he's not around It's just a sentimental fear That makes me want to keep him in his place I'm scared that he will want to take my life I'm scared it's me he'll replace
