Ghost of a Victim

Freedom
In due time we'll the tides that are rising
The fear of drowning ascends
I'll keep this locked inside of me
Until I can't hold on

From the perspective of a dead man
You reap what you sow
Shall we continue
This road of self pity
Woe was me
But now I oversee my lifeless body
Watching as they lowered me
Into the ground
Though I still remain

They close their eyes
Searching to find the memories
Holding on so tightly
Remember; remember me for who I once was
Not as I lay here before you now

Desperation leads demise
I see the face of a victim
One I can recognize
The realization I'm a ghost
Yet I am still not alone
As the keeper draws near
Though not who I had expected
Approaching hooded in black
To steal my eternity
From me

From the perspective of a dead man
You reap what you sow
Shall we continue
This road of self pity
Woe was me
But now I oversee my lifeless body
Watching as they lowered me
Into the ground

But who am I to claim to be the victim
I've left so many with broken hearts, nightmares for dreams
I've seen it all
Now understanding the lie that we all live

We lead our lives through hollow deception
The interpretation what is you should be me
Full of greed and envy the desire for more
Has stripped everything from me

As I'm watching over her has she forgotten me?
Coming to terms
I realize the consequence of my final mistake
As I stand here at the gates of hell
Knowing that I've been convicted
Trapped for all my days
I've lost it all
My love, my wife
