Stay Dead

Bet you'd like to get the freak show started
But my moves work slow
There's a presence here that I've imparted
Centuries ago

When the chilling of the night first hits you
Then you'll know I'm there
You can try to have the legends fix you
But you won't be spared

Balance exists that calls through the abyss
And in the chaos I create again

Go ahead, bury me
I will not stay dead
Hold me down, take my breath
I will thrive instead

Cheat the game, break my stride
You'll see me again
Like the plague, I will spread
'Cause I won't stay dead
('Cause I won't stay dead)
('Cause I won't stay dead)

Flaunting danger like your head is empty
But I've watched and learned
You look like you never did expect me
As if tides don't turn

I've been known to win out with my patience
There's no cure for fear
You must think it's your imagination
'Cause the devil's here

Risen from bone as the spirits come home
When I awake with a message to send

Go ahead, bury me
I will not stay dead
Hold me down, take my breath
I will thrive instead

Cheat the game, break my stride
You'll see me again
Like the plague, I will spread
'Cause I won't stay dead

('Cause I won't stay dead)

You recall to the past
And ascend this crevasse
Fused with power, strong of will
Guided hands fail you still

All your might, gone to waste
I will strike, leave no trace
None can rise in my stead
So why won't you just stay dead?

Just stay dead
Stay dead
'Cause I won't stay dead
I will not stay dead

Go ahead, bury me
I will not stay dead
Hold me down, take my breath
I will thrive instead

Cheat the game, break my stride
You'll see me again
Like the plague, I will spread
'Cause I won't stay dead

('Cause I won't stay dead)
('Cause I won't stay dead)
