Life glitters on in your eyes
And your body is still warm
I lie here with you
Clutching your corpse until dawn.

Now your body is cold
Because your heart was black
The blank look in your eyes
Is all that you lack

Sit up
Open your eyes
Help me remember
What it used to be like

Life left the body
Soul gone from earth
The Angel of Death
Come to steal and purge

Please! Won't you sit up
Just open your eyes?
Won't you help me remember
What it used to be like?

I watched calmly
As they lowered you down
Into the cold, dark ground
And waited, hoping you would come around.

Come back to me
Don't stay sleeping
I didn't mean to do it!
Tell me how to keep from weeping.

Give me the key
The only one to your heart, I'd said
I promised to keep it safe
Until we were both dead.

There you were, lying silent
But what could I do?
You'd taken back the key
So I found the only way to keep you.

I'm sorry I hurt you
And that I made you cry
But you wouldn't help me remember
What it used to be like.
