Living Dead

The suffering, her suffering
......Her pain is just too great
As she neared the murky water
......She dove into her fate.

...into the murky water
...She dove into her fate

They cried, his body shook
......His hands cradled his face
On his knees he prayed to God
......To let him take her place

...he prayed to God
...To let him take her place

She was his one and only love
......The apple of his very eye
Life will be hard without her
......He doesn't even want to try

...life is lonely without her
...He doesn't want to try

He slipped into a depression
......His body and soul wearing thin
He'd give anything if it hadn't happened
......And he could be with her again

...if it hadn't happened
...He could be with her again

She is dead, and he is dying
......Every night he drank himself to sleep
The alcohol helped ease his pain
......But did nothing for secrets he had to keep

...Alcohol eased the pain
...But not secrets he had to keep

One day it proved to be too much
......Without her he had no will to live
So he bought a gun, and wrote a note
......His soul to God he did give

...Bought a gun, wrote a note
...His soul to God he'd give

The gunshot echoed though the night
......Staining the white walls red
His body dropped to the satin sheets
......He was no longer living dead

...dropped to satin sheets
...No longer living dead
