Sign of the Times

Inspired by my favorite vampires...and Kill Bill 2...

I am so tired here
Of sleeping underground
This coffin is too small for me
To shift my weight around
Now, my eyes are dry
And my lips are parched
Who hammered all these nails
Into my beating heart?

I begin to break the walls around me
And loosen up the chains that surround me

You don't want to know
I won't miss you when you go
I've been gone so long
You're suprised...
That I'm alive
You thought years ago, I'd died...

Grave robbers came
And I snapped their necks
No one will take away the space
That I defend

My body's atrophied
From lying in this box
By the force of will, I move my limbs
And command my feet to walk

I begin to reclaim what belongs to me
And accept the things you said were wrong with me

You don't want to know
That I won't miss you when you go
I've been gone so long
You're surprised...
That I'm alive
You thought...years ago, I'd died...

So, close your eyes
When you open them again
You see
Me rise...

I cannot decide
The price I should collect
In exchange for the pain
You inflict

Should I kill you quickly
Or let you beg and weep?
Should I torture you
The way you tortured me?

You begin to see the mistake you made
And realize you should have dug a deeper grave

You don't want to know
That I've reclaimed my soul
I've been quiet here so long
You're surprised...
I'm alive
You thought years ago...I'd died

And now, I'm coming for you
You thought I'd died
But now I'm coming for you
With blood-stained eyes
I'm at your door
Don't scream
No one will hear you scream
I've come for you
You thought I'd died
Aren't you surprised?
