Emerald - Bury the Truth

First you were lost
then you were found
once you were free
now you are bound

time's been like a hammer
nailed you to the ground
you paid the price to be free
you're just the same as me

Bury the truth with your soul
will the lies no longer be told?

wrong side of a trigger
neck inside a noose
they beat you black and blue
turned your body loose

down in these dark hallows
we all decay
link into this broken chain
sorrows are in vain

Bury the truth with your soul
will the lies no longer be told?

held you under the water
marked you as prey
invited you to the slaughter
lent you a wretched hand
pointing the way

welcome to your home
to the city of the dead
into our sweet necropolis
resting your head

quietly at last
the brotherhood of sleep
those we have amassed
are lying cold and deep

now we drag our souls through this maze
restless but our eyes are ablaze
carrion for all of our days….
