Buried Alive

Lyrics

Once upon a nightmare  
Once upon a time  
You're running from temptation  
You got lost  
And found that you don't  
Belong to anybody  
You're all the same  
Just another number  
Cross it out  
Whenever you don't behave  
  
Someone got the doctor  
He knows what to do  
Throw some bones and mumble  
The devil's inside of you  
  
It might be contagious  
It might change the plan  
Get back in your tiny boxes  
Even if you can't  
We say you can  
  
Join the congregation  
Everybody's got to get in line and  
We never justify  
The choir sings a never-ending lie  
  
Pre-chorus:  
When you thought you were free  
You didn't need a reason  
No reason to survive  
  
Chorus:  
As the big door closes  
And you waiting for the nail  
Somebody tell the world  
You're buried alive  
  
Once upon a nightmare  
Once upon a time  
You're running from tomorrow  
You got lost  
And found that another  
Day has turned to ashes  
Taken by the wind  
Frozen seeds of sorrow  
Never to begin  
  
Join the celebration  
And everybody's got to get in line and  
We never justify  
The choir sings a never-ending lie  
  
Pre-chorus:  
When you thought you were free  
You did not need a reason  
No reason to survive  
  
Chorus:  
As the big door closes  
And you waiting for the mail  
Somebody tell the world  
You're buried alive  
  
One more nightmare  
Just one more time  
Join the congregation  
Everybody get in line  
  
Celebration  
The choir sings a lie  
As you call  
The hammer falls  
And no one hears you cry  
I'm buried alive
