One Foot In The Grave (It Was A Dark And Stormy Night… 2011)

Текст песни Creature Feature - One Foot In The Grave (It Was A Dark And Stormy Night… 2011)

[Verse 1]
Let me tell you a tragedy
That will surely frighten
You out of your skin

[Verse 2]
There once was god-fearing man
Who unfortunately
Woke up stone cold dead

[Chorus]
I’ve got one foot in the grave
And in its shackles I’m enslaved
But here I lie
With opened eyes
The pearly gates turned me away
In this sarcophagus, I lay
No longer dead
But I am void of breath

[Bridge]
I can feel the cold night air
(La la la la la la)
I can feel the decay there
(La la la la la la)
I can feel it in the wind
(La la la la la la)
In death, I have been born again
(La la la la la la)
[Verse 3]
Gather round to hear a bleak tale
In harrowing detail
Of the utmost suffering

[Verse 4]
There once was a bizarre outcast
A bedeviled lost soul
Searching for his end

[Chorus]
The grim reaper snuck up on me
When I was most unsuspecting
With his scythe in hand
And my life in remand
The heavens did dismiss of me
The spit me out and let me be
I am deceased
But I can’t rest in peace

[Bridge]
I can feel the cold night air
(La la la la la la)
I can feel the decay there
(La la la la la la)
I can feel it in the wind
(La la la la la la)
In death I have been born again
(La la la la la la)
[Verse 5]
In truth, I fear
This life appears
In death
Exiled from eternity
So it appears
This life, I fear
In death
Ostracized from mortality

[Chorus]
I’ve got one foot in the grave
And in its cruel shackles I’m enslaved
But here I lie
With opened eyes
The pearly gates turned me away
In this sarcophagus, I lay
No longer dead
But I am void of breath

[Outro]
I can feel the cold night air
(La la la la la la)
I can feel the decay there
(La la la la la la)
I can feel it in the wind
(La la la la la la)
In death I have been born again
(La la la la la la)
