[Verse 1]
Sleep, and dream of this
Death angel's kiss
Brings final bliss
Come believe me
[Pre-Chorus]
Empty they say
Death, won't you let me stay
Empty they say
Death, hear me call your name
Oh, call your name
[Chorus]
Suicide, I've already died
You're just the funeral I've been waiting for
Cyanide, living dead inside
Break this empty shell forevermore
[Verse 2]
Wait, wait patiently
Your death-black wings
Unfolding sleep
Spreading o'er me
[Pre-Chorus]
Empty they say
Death, won't you let me stay
Empty they say
Death, hear me call your name
Oh, call your name
[Chorus]
Suicide, I've already died
It's just the funeral I've been waiting for
Cyanide, living dead inside
Break this empty shell forevermore
[Verse 3]
Say, is that rain or are they tears
That stained your concrete face for years?
The crying, weeping, shedding strife
Year after year, life after life
An air of freshly broken ground
A concrete angel laid right down
Upon the grave which swallows fast
It's peace at last
O peace at last
[Pre-Chorus]
Empty they say
Death, won't you let me stay
Empty they say
Death, hear me call your name
Oh, call your name
[Chorus]
Suicide, I've already died
You're just the funeral I've been waiting for
Cyanide, living dead inside
Break this empty shell forevermore
[Outro]
Forevermore
Forevermore
It's the funeral I've been waiting for
Sleep, and dream of this
Death angel's kiss
Brings final bliss
Come believe me
[Pre-Chorus]
Empty they say
Death, won't you let me stay
Empty they say
Death, hear me call your name
Oh, call your name
[Chorus]
Suicide, I've already died
You're just the funeral I've been waiting for
Cyanide, living dead inside
Break this empty shell forevermore
[Verse 2]
Wait, wait patiently
Your death-black wings
Unfolding sleep
Spreading o'er me
[Pre-Chorus]
Empty they say
Death, won't you let me stay
Empty they say
Death, hear me call your name
Oh, call your name
[Chorus]
Suicide, I've already died
It's just the funeral I've been waiting for
Cyanide, living dead inside
Break this empty shell forevermore
[Verse 3]
Say, is that rain or are they tears
That stained your concrete face for years?
The crying, weeping, shedding strife
Year after year, life after life
An air of freshly broken ground
A concrete angel laid right down
Upon the grave which swallows fast
It's peace at last
O peace at last
[Pre-Chorus]
Empty they say
Death, won't you let me stay
Empty they say
Death, hear me call your name
Oh, call your name
[Chorus]
Suicide, I've already died
You're just the funeral I've been waiting for
Cyanide, living dead inside
Break this empty shell forevermore
[Outro]
Forevermore
Forevermore
It's the funeral I've been waiting for
