Lifeless - Exhumed

Dr. Knox:​ Mem’ry haunts me clearly

The winter of my thirteenth year

Wind moaned through headstones dreary

A siren song only I could hear

A fevered brain infected

Where terrors spawned each night

A young man grew dejected

A waking dream, a fright amongst frights

Dr. Knox: ​Though my symptoms at last abated

And the coughing fits did surcease

An insalubrious nature gestated

Breeding malaise, a subtle disease

Narrator: ​Then with each passing breath

In life, he dwelt in death

Dr. Knox: ​This truth I now confess:

Dr. Knox:​ A morbid mind obsessed

Unhealthy thoughts depressed

By cryptic dreams possessed

To ever dwell among, the lifeless

Lifeless!

Hare:​ A casket-builder's low-born boy

Child of the grave in name and fact

Grey days and nights in dark employ

Set destiny 'pon its deathly path

Hare: ​Dismissed as morbid youth

Obsessions quite uncouth

Led to unpleasant truths

Hare / Dr. Knox:​ A morbid mind obsessed

Unhealthy thoughts depressed

By cryptic dreams possessed

To ever dwell among, the lifeless

As all life ends in death

So with each passing breath

My destiny professed

To ever dwell among, the lifeless

Dr. Knox:​ Into the family crypt, I stealthily crept

Knowing not what I sought 'mongst the mold and the rot

A sight that was not soon forgot

And as I lay in the grave, finding the solace I’d craved

At peace there with the decayed, though they called me depraved

It was there a dark path was paved

Lifeless​!
