MARK M MARTIN - Rigor Mortis Lyrics

In the shadows where the lost souls creep
Silent whispers of the secrets they keep
Fingers cold like the grip of despair
Choking on echoes of a lifeless prayer

Crimson skies where the vultures reign
Feasting on the remnants of my pain
In this tomb of dreams forever I'll rot
Caught in the web of a deathly knot

Rigor mortis binding my soul
An eternal cradle of darkness whole
Stripped of my flesh but my spirit won't break
In the grip of decay I'll rise from the wake

Creeping shadows the silence screams loud
Every heartbeat buried under the shroud
Skeletal whispers breathe life into fear
Mourning the living who refuse to draw near

Graves unmarked where the whispers collide
The weight of existence I can no longer hide
Chained to the past in this lifeless shell
The echoes of anguish ring a funeral bell

Rigor mortis binding my soul
An eternal cradle of darkness whole
Stripped of my flesh but my spirit won't break
In the grip of decay I'll rise from the wake

Caught in this cycle the end is a game
Lifeless and hollow yet I'm never the same
Trapped in this moment where time has no chain
In the ashes of life I'll embrace my disdain

Through the decay I'll find my own way
Beyond the torment where the shadows sway
In the silence I'll carve out my throne
In the heart of the darkness I'll never be alone

With every heartbeat I dance with the dead
In the chaos of silence I'll live with the dread
Rigor mortis the price that I pay
In the realm of the lost I shall forever stay
