[Intro]
Not hear it?
Yes, I hear it, I have heard it
Long, long, long, many minutes, many hours, many days have I heard it
Yet I dared not, oh, pity me, miserable wretch that I am
I dared not, I dared not speak, we have put him living in the tomb
Said I not all my senses were acute?
I now tell you that I heard his first feeble movements in the hollow coffin
I heard them many, many days ago
Yet I dared not, I dared not speak
Yes, I dared not, I dared not speak
[Verse 1]
I awoke in the darkness
A ringing in my ears
In the cold and the silence
Feels like I've slept for years
[Verse 2]
Voices in the distance
Someone speaks my name
The sound of tears and laughter
Am I dead or insane?
[Chorus]
I'm calling, no one can hear me
I'm calling, you know where I must be
Come on, let me out
You gotta set me free
Just to even hear
[Verse 3]
Ashes to ashes
Is that what he said?
More familiar voices
Lies about the life that I had
[Verse 4]
I wanna speak that I hear, though
A realization arise
A shovel strikes the earth above
I'm being buried alive
[Chorus]
I'm calling, no one can hear me
I'm calling, you know where I must be
Hello! You've got to set me free
Doesn't anybody hear me?
[Guitar Solo]
Hah! One, two, three, four!
[Chorus]
I'm calling, no one can hear me
I'm calling, you know where I must be
Come on, let me out
You've got to set me free, hey...
[Outro]
Come on let me out, come on!
You gotta set me free!
Hey, come on, you gotta...
I gotta get out of here
Hey, hey you know, no, no
No, no, hey, come on!
No, hey! No! Hey, hey, can you hear me?
Hey, hey!
Hey! No! Hey, come on!
Oh my god!
