"Buried Alive" lyrics - MERCYFUL FATE

The poison is still in your veins
The poison I slipped in your drink
Cannot see me, I am but a ghost
Never saw your dangerous host

Wake up!
You're still alive, wake up and die

All you can see in the darkness above
Is the white in my eye...
I'm standing on the edge of your grave
Looking down into the eyes of the dead
Buried Alive...Buried Alive

Wake up!
You're still alive, wake up and die

How does it feel with my foot on your chest?
How does it feel? (Tell me and I might forget)
How does it feel to be so out of breath?
How does it feel? (Tell me and I might forget)
Buried Alive...Buried Alive

He started struggling, oh the fool
Moonlight shining in his drool
I slammed the shovel straight between his eyes
"Stay down," I screamed, "You're here to die!"

Never saw me, I am but a ghost
Never saw your dangerous host
Wake up!
You're still alive, wake up and die

All you can see in the darkness above
Is the white in my eye
I'm standing on the edge of your grave
Looking down into the eyes of the dead
Buried Alive...Buried Alive

No matter what it is you believe
You're lucky if you die in your sleep
"Murder!" he screamed, "Oh why!?" but that's a lie

You killed me first, so now die
I'm dead, but you die, I'm gonna bury you alive

"Murder!" he screamed, "Oh why?!"
