endless living death without you!

Endless death without you!

 

 

Imagine being alive but dead

Like a zombie with no brain inside its head

Imagine being a vampire without a soul,

An eternity living but no reason just a hole

Imagine being a werewolf

Cursed to be a animal without thought

with the nightmare of knowing what every full moon brought

imagine all these things

imagine being cursed

but even worse still

that is how left me

like a lock without a key

without your love I can never be free

I look at your face a photo which I carry inside my mind

Now I might as well be blind

Cause all I can see is your face

The angels cry for me from above

But I just bleed

Cause I need your love so badly

But sadly it will never come!

◄ you will judge us from afar

Corporate Christ! ►

Hi Daniel. Really felt the desparation and internal pain in this. the locked lock, the photo in the mind you cant ignore, liked the idea of the prison that is the wierwolf / zombie body. Not sure about the title. Thanks for posting this one. Winston
