[Verse 1]
Secluded in a marker stone
Not only deadlier, but smarter, too
Smarter too
All along the tomb
All along the ruin
Secluded in a marker stone
Not only deadlier, but smarter, too
Smarter, too
[Chorus]
I could live a million
I could live a million
I could live a million
I could live a million years
[Verse 1]
Secluded in a marker stone
Not only deadlier but smarter, too
Smarter, too
All along the tomb
All along the ruin
Secluded in a marker stone
Not only deadlier but smarter, too
Smarter, too
[Chorus]
I could live a million
I could live a million
I could live a million
I could live a million years
[Bridge]
All along, all along, all along the tomb
The secret in, the secret in, the secret in the ruin
[Verse 2]
Secluded in a marker stone
Not only deadlier - smarter, too
Smarter, too
[Chorus]
I could live a million
I could live a million
I could live a million
I could live a million years
Secluded in a marker stone
Not only deadlier, but smarter, too
Smarter too
All along the tomb
All along the ruin
Secluded in a marker stone
Not only deadlier, but smarter, too
Smarter, too
[Chorus]
I could live a million
I could live a million
I could live a million
I could live a million years
[Verse 1]
Secluded in a marker stone
Not only deadlier but smarter, too
Smarter, too
All along the tomb
All along the ruin
Secluded in a marker stone
Not only deadlier but smarter, too
Smarter, too
[Chorus]
I could live a million
I could live a million
I could live a million
I could live a million years
[Bridge]
All along, all along, all along the tomb
The secret in, the secret in, the secret in the ruin
[Verse 2]
Secluded in a marker stone
Not only deadlier - smarter, too
Smarter, too
[Chorus]
I could live a million
I could live a million
I could live a million
I could live a million years
