Dead since a while

1.
At the first day of my odyssey,
I thought I was just asleep,
but when I tried to wake up, I opened up my eyes
and there was nothing I could see.

Then somebody pulled down a zipper
and a flash of light hit my face
and I thought “Thank god you saved me,
from another of those lousy days”

But soon I did recognize,
I wasn’t at home in my bed,
there where these strange people
all colored in white.

It wasn’t just one of these bad dreams
and I wouldn’t wake up and see
I was standing, at the edge of tomorrow
with a knife in my hand.

2.
But then I saw the real thing,
the knife wasn’t in my hand,
it stuck inside my body
and I cried out in despair.

They pulled me out of a body bag
and opened some kind of a treasure chest
without a treasure but the treasure map,
which was buried beneath my feet.

Before I could say a word,
they threw me inside this cave
and I felt like I’d entered
my very own grave

Surrounded by nothing but darkness
I tried to get out of the cave
it was dark and cold, felt like my soul was sold,
to the devil behind the door.

3.
After hours had gone in solitude,
they opened up the door,
they pulled me out and threw my on a table
and I thought that I’d die of fear

These strange people all around me,
investigating my whole body
and when somebody pulled out the knife
I was cryin’ out loud in pain.

But nobody seemed to hear me,
Nobody saw me cry
Nobody was aware of me,
that I was still inside

And when they started to cut my body apart,
and ripped my flesh from the bones
At that moment, I realized...

that I was dead since a while.
