LYRICS

Bleeding wounds never cloath
even after death.
Murdered dead look on from beyond.
Never to return.

No way back at all, trapped.
Between life and death, we can't return to flesh.

I'm dead now, life has passed.
In the grave, no life left.
Move on to, the other side.
Rotten, I have died.

Murder, took my life away.
I will never rest.
Dead, reaching from the grave.
So cold in this place.

I'm dead now, life has passed.
In the grave, no life left.
Move on to, the other side.
Rotten, I have died.

Murder, took my life away.
I will never rest.
Dead, reaching from the grave.
So cold in this place.

No way back at all, trapped.
Between life and death, I will come back.



I think there's few mistakes (perhaps on riff C?).
