Dead Again Lyrics by Mercyful Fate

Dead Again

1998

[Verse 1]
Why do I keep on doin' this?
It's not for me anymore
I'm doing this more for you than I
And on that lonely road to nowhere
I lost myself to something else
[Verse 2]
I don't know where I'm going or where I've been
It's so hard to remember all the things I am, am I?
It feels like the end is near, catching up with me
Catch me if you can, 'cause I'm going down into the ground
[Verse 3]
How much longer can I keep going on?
I can feel my lost ones coming down
Sooner than later, I'll see you all again
I feel my purpose here slipping away
I see the sun but it's raining
[Verse 4]
I hope I'm on my way to better things
And if I'm not, it doesn't really matter
'Cause I am doing this more for you than I am me
I can no longer pretend, that my life is worth living
I, I would rather die, be dead again
[Bridge 1]
Hold on, now here it comes
Death for one, for a lonely son
Up then down, I'm spinning around
My soul is so confused again
Am I floating towards the sun?
Hold on, am I dead on?
[Guitar Solo: Hank Shermann]
[Bridge 2]
Through a tunnel of black
Why, why do I feel so sad?
I've been waiting for the end of act nine to come
The curtain must fall, the end of a song
[Guitar Solo: Mike Wead]
[Bridge 3]
But the song goes on and on
The light is so very strong
I'm drifting along, I have no will
[Verse 5]
I'm drifting still
In a room without walls, I feel the chill
No one is here to pick me up
Nothingness, what a mess, oh
Is anybody there?
[Verse 6]
Is anybody there? I'm talking to you, do you hear me?
If I could only see through the wall of nothingness, the wall of black
They gave me number nine, but this is not like the last time
Number nine, this time I am really losing my mind
[Verse 7]
I hear an orchestra, I see an orchestra
I greet an orchestra, I meet an orchestra
I'm in an orchestra, I am an orchestra
I kill this orchestra, I kill me? No, no, no
No, don't stop, please don't stop
[Bridge 4]
Hey, hey, stay here
What's going on?
Hey, hey, wait for me
[Guitar Solos: Hank Shermann / Mike Wead]
[Verse 8]
I'm running but I can't keep up
Then I realize my feet are gone
This is such a weird, weird song
The orchestra is now a door
One is one and two is four, I can see three more
Seven doors, seven doors
I must choose one before they're gone
[Verse 9]
But I cannot move, oh, they're drifting away now
But I cannot move, oh, they're drifting away now
I've got to reach that door, the number six
I've got to reach that door, the number six
The number six-six, the number six-six-six
The number six-six-six
[Verse 10]
The number six-six-six, that's my door
Woah, look at all the colours
There goes an orchestra, no more doors
Close the window, here they come
I hear another end of this song, yes I do
But again, the song goes on
[Verse 11]
Dead again, I know 'cause I've been here before
I'm dead again, if I could only reach that door
The number six-six-six, the number six-six-six
[Verse 12]
I'm beginning to miss you again
Why can't I just get you out of my mind?
I must forget
[Verse 13]
Dead again, I know 'cause I've been here before
I'm dead again, if I could only reach that door
Through a purple mist the light is fading
I guess I'll have to stay dead, stay dead, stay dead
A little longer this time
[Outro]
Yeah, dead again
I'm dead again, oh
Dead again
I'm dead again
I'm dead again
Ooh, goodbye
[Guitar Solo: ?]
