CORRUPTUS LYRICS

1. Buried Alive

You woke up in the darkness and you couldn't breathe quite right
You didn't know what time it was but you knew it wasn't night
You tried to move your arms but they were pinned up to your side
Your fingers scrape, there's no escape it's time for you to die

Buried alive, buried alive paralysed under the ground
Buried alive, buried alive rotting bodies all around
Buried alive, buried alive go ahead and cry
Buried alive, buried alive it’s time for you to die

A claustrophobic nightmare suffocating in this cell
Your hands are tied, you’re locked inside the rotting wooden shell
You scream until you're breathless but nobody is going to hear
You better say your prayers because the end will soon be here

Your body begins in spasms suffering from the fright
Breathing getting harder the coffin is airtight
Panic creates illusions of shovels digging overhead
Buried alive you won’t survive becoming the buried dead.

2. Eternal Nightmare

I saw my mom, sleeping with some guy I never knew
I thought I was dreaming waiting for the nightmare to be through
But I was being naïve everything I saw was real
My own mom, I couldn't believe how would my dad feel?

I yelled at her so loud what the hell are you doing?
Are you a whore are you proud it’s not just him you're screwing
I could not obey you mother when you told me what to do
Don't tell your father son I, I, love you

You don't love my dad anymore you don't love that other man either
I'm telling dad that you're a whore and that you are a deceiver
My dad killed her, sleeping I told him what I thought I knew
I didn't know I was dreaming now my nightmare will never be through

3. Wake Up Screaming

Why should I even fight it? this shit is out of line
I lost my soul and all control and all my piece of mind
My heart has been cut open it’s leaking like a sieve
I try to find the reasons but I've lost the will to live

Wake Up Wake Up Wake Up Screaming!
There is no relief for the fear you’re feeling
Wake Up Wake Up Wake Up Screaming!
If you think your safe, then you’re still dreaming
Wake Up Wake Up Wake Up Screaming!
There is no escape from the fear you’re feeling
Wake Up Wake Up Wake Up Screaming!
If you think your safe, then you’re still dreaming

There he lays awake in bed staring at the wall
Burning himself with a cigarette so his eyelids will not fall
His floor is strewn of coffee crystals and porno magazines
Anything to keep at bay the horrors of his dreams

4. Redemption

5. News

Armed and dangerous and everybody runs
A kid gets bullied and answers with guns
A suburban war zone painted in red
Gunshot echoes; another child dead
Another hijacker on the freeway
A serial killer seizes the day
The truth about our society
It’s on the news for all to see

We all let it happen everyone’s to blame
With all the violence now it puts us all to shame
Time still passes by everything is the same
With all the violence around it puts us all to shame

6. Corruptus

You’ll ask for guidance from above
But the world doesn't revolve around love
It’s all about the money and greed to fulfil your every need
Because with Politicians like these around
The Christian message is always found
With moral hypocrisies Jesus was a man of peace

So Corruptus now before it's to late
Exploit our generation with religion and hate
Corruptus, Corruptus, go ahead
Corruptus like you've corrupted them

Conglomerates claim to go bankrupt
Some are legit, but many are corrupt
They pitch out a downsizing phrase
While the CEO’s give themselves a raise
The flags colours are red white and blue
Many have died for it so sad so true
Allowing corruption to go unseen
Turns our flag red black and green.

7. Tribulation

You call it life; I cut it down to simplicity
Life is a cycle, adventures in futility
Amidst recurring lapses of absolute depression
Comes a few moments without tribulation

For some the ignorance is truly blissful
Fool themselves into thinking life isn't so dismal
Cycle of hopeless future repeating a desolate past
Cruel truth of life the good times never last.

8. Masochist Basement

In the basement he waits the night grows darker
His tortured mind tells him to cut deeper
There is nothing left now God is gone
He has it all but he doesn't deserve it
Loyal friends devoted parents all that is good he resents
The flag he sees as he vomits he bleeds

Masochism, self-injury
Cutting myself to punish me
It hurts me not my pain is my pleasure
Sucking our own blood, no one needs me
Who should care? My life is my own
Suicide will be the death of me

He sits there staring at his arms and his legs
With repulsion cut them slash them masochism
Break the skin slit the wrists bite the neck bloody fists
He regrets his friends and family cried
No need for help he says he's doing fine
He wont hurt himself again but you know he's lying

Watching the clock waiting for the moment
Wash the knives the skin make the incision
Scrape away the first three layers making sure to hit the vein
Drawing the blood that's why he's there of his own death
He has no fear he does it on his own in the masochist basement

9. Suicide

The night is foggy the rain breaks the sky
My head is down but there’s no need to cry
You’ve played with my mind and in my head you’ll find
That I want to die knife at my throat tonight

I die. I’m dead. I’m guilty.
I die. I’m dead. I’m sorry.
Because I don’t want to live anymore
I’ve got to kill myself kill myself
I don’t want to live anymore
My last thought is I want to die

No more of my wants no more of my needs
I am done lying I am done hiding
How I really feel how I never healed
Now I am no more then the love that was yours

Knife reaching deeper I’m feeling weaker
The blood is flowing the pain is growing
My end is right here but there is no fear
Because I know something once dead there is nothing

10. Only Friend

I cannot live without you I torture myself while you're away
I cannot think of life without you so why, did you leave me yesterday
There was no way I could have stopped you you determined death to be the only way
No matter how hard I tried to save you you had for me your last words to say

Good-bye my only friend live life long and well
No longer will I pretend that things haven’t gone to hell
Politics and religion people I’ve had enough
Now it's to late for me but my friend, don't give up
Most live life afraid of death but death is where fear ends
Stop fearing the unlived life and everywhere it bends

You've left me with nothing but guilt and disbelief
I saw all your signs to you suicide is a relief
I want to be with you now more than anything
Suicide or life the choices I'm stuck between

Most live life afraid of death but death is where fear ends
Stop fearing the unlived life and everywhere it bends
I cannot be as cruel as you and leave my loved ones today
I will always remember you our love will never fade away
I thought I'd be enough for you to at least want to stay
I was there for you as you killed yourself that day
