Open Casket

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Approach the image filled with fear As the image grows so clear Future now takes full control The one whose past you now behold [Pre-Chorus] Touch the flesh, it is so cold Turn away, you now have been told [Chorus] Never to return, memories will last In the future, you'll think about the past Never to forget what you have seen [Verse 2] People come to pay respect Taking pictures of the dead This is what life comes to be Once they lived, now they're deceased [Guitar Solo] [Instrumental Break] [Bridge] Death is oh so strange The past no one can change What you can't predict Is how long you'll exist [Bridge] Open casket Open casket [Verse 3] Life will never be the same Death can never be explained It's their time to go beyond Empty feeling when they're gone [Chorus] Never to return, memories will last In the future, you'll think about the past Never to forget what you have seen What cannot be real you now believe
