I wrote this lyrics to the main title on the ALAN PARSONS album On Air from 1996.
There is some very strong melodies and guest vocals on this album.
Well, criticism of my lyrics are most welcome.
BURIED ALIVE
Behind this wall of mystic haze
You can see your truly face
Please don’t ever question your faith
Carry on with your shame
Do you still feel the pain?
You must learn to control your hate
In this world of loneliness
You do anything for a sweet caress
Anyone can see what’s on your mind
The day is turning into night
What is wrong and what is right?
I guess you’ll find out, in time
Chorus:
But if you play this masquerade
You’ll se your chances start to fade
The pain is burning, deep inside
No, I don’t want you to be buried alive
Memories from the past
Fallow you from the start
Never gonna make those mistakes again
Now take of your disguise
See the truth in your eyes
Soon the waiting will come to an end
Chorus II:
And when the time is calling your name
You never gonna be the same again
Feels like the future is set on trial
I hope you’re not gonna be buried alive
Buried alive
Buried alive
Buried alive
Melody: “Too close to the sun”, ALAN PARSONS
