[Spoken] Then the blackness loomed close up against my skin, snuffing out even the evil whiteness to those damming lips, driving all sensibility into retreat, in a mad rush of the senses and the soul into Hades! [Verse 1 sung] I forever dream within a dream Of a certain city in the sea As I walk the valley of unrest Behind this mask of crimson death I long for a loss of breath And a most dire predicament Murders in the rue morgue Silence and shadows what I adore [Chorus] Well I cant explain just how it feels The thoughts of my premature burial Inside this oblong box I lie With the hopes Ill be buried alive [Verse 2] The oval portrait upon the wall Will someday cause this house to fall The power of words left unsaid As I join the spirits of the dead [Chorus] Well I cant explain just how it feels The thoughts of my premature burial Inside this oblong box I lie With the hopes Ill be buried alive [Spoken] As they lifted and bore me down, down to a place of blackness and dampness and silence... silence... [Verse 3 sung] Well, Im the man whos Used up Washed up Bricked up Descent into Maelstrom Bedlam Redrum Bet the Devil My head Misled Bloodshed Heart under the floorboard Beats for Lenore Nevermore [Chorus x2] Well I cant explain just how it feels The thoughts of my premature burial Inside this oblong box I lie With the hopes Ill be buried alive
