Lyrics Surrounded by Skulls - The Rotted

Surrounded by Skulls

Closing the struggle for sense and reason
Your eyes are wide open but you’re still not seeing
Doomed to fail through the choices you made —
A sentence of death, its yourself you betrayed
An empty shell set to rot and decay —
Pulled from the womb, taken straight to the grave…
Because you’re dead, dead, dead is what you are
Buried underground, you’re surrounded by skulls
Running scard, scared, scared is what you are
The trophies of your past are nothing but your scars
Because you’re dead, dead, dead is what you are
You can’t see through the shit when your head is up your arse
Running scared, scared, scared is what you are
Buried underground, you’re surrounded by skulls…
Taking strength from your faith, not reason
Seeking your solace in a failed religion
No escape from the oncoming storm —
The self-righteous path leads to hatred and scorn
I’ve seen your hate but there’s no time to mourn —
The funeral planned before the child is born…
Because you’re dead, dead, dead is what you are
Buried underground, you’re surrounded by skulls
Running scared, scared, scared is what you are
The trophies of your past are nothing but your scars
Because you’re dead, dead, dead is what you are
You can’t see through the shit when your head is up your arse
Running scared, scared, scared is what you are
Buried underground, you’re surrounded by skulls…
A lifetime believing, a wasted existence
A lifetime surrounded with no resistance
Accepting your faith, you’re the last to know —
Reality hits you as you’re dragged down below
Eternal slumber an honor bestowed —
We may have lost heart but we never let go…
Because you’re dead, dead, dead is what you are
Buried underground, you’re surrounded by skulls
Running scared, scared, scared is what you are
The trophies of your past are nothing but your scars
Because you’re dead, dead, dead is what you are
You can’t see through the shit when your head is up your arse
Running scared, scared, scared is what you are
Buried underground, you’re surrounded by skulls…
