Council of the Dead Lyrics by Famous Last Words

Council of the Dead

0

[Verse 1]
Settle in, won't you all take a seat?
Welcome here to the Land of Deceased
You breathe in, you breathe out, it all feels the same
You feel you're alive but there's no blood in your veins
Confess to us the fable of your previous life
In life and in death I'll show you how us souls survive!
[Chorus]
Rest, rest in peace, dear deceased, and tell us all your stories
Scream, shout, let it out (Scream, shout, let it out)
It's hard to make a sound when you've all fallen asleep
Caught in a dream, far from reality
Scream, shout, let it out (Scream, shout, let it out)
Cause it's all over now
[Verse 2]
Understand, open your eyes and you'll see
I'm not here to judge you and I'm not here to preach
My role here is to guide you as we search through your past
So let's all get started we're together at last
Each of you left a loved one behind
How long do you expect them to live on and survive?
Council of the dead
Who do you expect will be joining us next?
Live your life without fear or regret
Cause once you're dead, there's no point to lament
I know this all may be hard to believe
The sooner you accept it, the sooner you'll see
Your relativity is buried beneath
Your deaths are the lock, but your lives are the key
[Chorus]
Rest, rest in peace, dear deceased, and tell us all your stories
Scream, shout, let it out (Scream, shout, let it out)
It's hard to make a sound when you've all fallen asleep
Caught in a dream, far from reality
Scream, shout, let it out (Scream, shout, let it out)
Cause it's all over now
[Verse 3]
Everybody, sit and listen, there are some things
I think that you should know
Before your destiny's decided, you must reveal where you came from
Loved ones and broken-hearted you left behind to suffer
Now you're gone
Let's hope in life that you provided
The means to live and carry on
Tell me now what's more important:
Time in life or time now that you're gone?
Buried you in a cemetery
Above, your family surrounds
Try to scream their names out
But it's hard to make a sound
Die
Council of the dead (Council of the dead)
Who do you think will be joining us next?
Live your life without fear or regret
Cause once you're dead there's no point in lament
[Chorus]
Rest, rest in peace, dear deceased, and tell us all your stories
Scream, shout, let it out (Scream, shout, let it out)
It's hard to make a sound when you've all fallen asleep
Caught in a dream, far from reality
Scream, shout, let it out (Scream, shout, let it out)
Cause it's all over now
