Catacombs

Can you imagine forever lying next to a stranger? So many of us sharing this grave together Decades dissolved into stone No ghosts in these hallowed halls Just souls unseen, cold hands comforting And I see you so clearly before me (Before me) And it kills me, I'm sorry (Sorry) How could I never know who lived behind those eyes? Who you were in life? (But isn't it nice to know) That death won't do us part No one wants to die alone (You never will be) In the catacombs They say I should be afraid So why am I so at peace? I'm grounded, I'm humbled by bare truth in these bare bones No whispers, no winds Just silence and stillness In empty faces and eternal grins And I see you so clearly before me (Before me) And it kills me, I'm sorry (Sorry) How could I never know who lived behind those eyes? Who you were in life? (But isn't it nice to know) That death won't do us part No one wants to die alone (You never will be) There's no names in this place No status, no race A thousand souls sharing one fate (Take them home) Proof that we're all the same Take them home No one wants to die alone (You never will be) In the catacombs
