Sleep for the Dead (Cover) (Cover)

*creepy slow toy box music* [Verse 1] Down in the deep Where the silence is loud I pray to the bones That I’ll someday get out The air chokes on iron Like blood on the stone Each breath carves my name In a tomb of my own [Pre-Chorus] *music intensifies* The cold weaves its hymn Through the cracks of my soul It binds me to voids Where the living don’t go [Chorus] Sleep for the dead, but I’m bound to the night Caught in its web, where no morning ignites Lost in the deep, where the stars never weep Sleep for the dead, but I can’t find sleep Sleep for the dead, Sleep for the dead... [Verse 2] The clock’s a taut string It hums through my veins Each tick pulls me tighter To sleepless refrains My mind’s a dry well No peace in its stone I’m trapped in the dark Forever alone [Chorus] Sleep for the dead, but I’m bound to the night Caught in its web, where no morning ignites Lost in the deep, where the stars never weep Sleep for the dead, but I can’t find sleep Sleep for the dead, Sleep for the dead... [Bridge] Yet a spark breaks the chain I’ll climb through the gray Steal rest from the deep And greet the new day [Chorus] Sleep for the dead, but I’ll slip from the fight Unweave the dark web, let the morning ignite Free from the deep, where the stars start to leap Sleep for the dead, now I’ll finally sleep *slow toybox fading out* Sleep for the dead, Sleep for the dead
