Sigh Bring Back the Dead Lyrics

Once beloved now lost forever,
Wings of Angel torn by malignance,

Why wasn't it me?
Living in a shadow of death,
I wish it was a dream,

I won't believe in salvation, (I) shouldn't be saved,
I wait for my condemnation in the cold flame,
Repeated suicide in imagination,
Watch the coward pray,
Unexpected destination,
A miserable slave,

Die with a hope or live in despair,
Death you're dying, Life you're losing,
Spiritual suicide, Life I denied,
Light the night divides, Pride I denied,

[Bridge]
Now I set a fire to cremate,
The treasure that will never be the same,
I won't wait for the fate, lost in this shade,
Past will never change, too late to be saved,

Life light as a feather, so is mine,
Why wasn't it me when the angel smiles,
So I'll live on the lies when my conscience dies
How could I stand the slaughter in this paradise?

[Chorus]
Bring Back the Dead, in this sorrow,
Bring Back the Dead, regret will grow,
Bring Back the Dead,
As their voices get higher and the leading light glitters,
Bring Back the Dead, Now I see,
Bring Back the Dead, What it means,
Bring Back the Dead,
Until the moment my existence perishes in eternity,

Eternal regret I won't forget,
What I want (is a) punishment, for the dead,
Why wasn't it me,
Living in the shadow of death,
I wish it was a dream,

I am the one who is guilty but I can't see,
Nothing is the same as it used to be, silence is my pleas,
Helpless slave to destiny, I'll never be free,
Shattered is my humanity, Eternally

Die with a hope or live in despair,
Death you're dying, Life you're losing,
Spiritual suicide, Life I denied,
Light the night divides, Pride I denied,

[Bridge]
I have no future, for which I would live,
I live in the dreadful past to forgive,
My sin, spawned by inner feelings I have killed,
I cry out of the loneliness to be filled,
What I want is a punishment, demon inside of me,
Now I see no way to embrace this reality,
Now I see no reason for me to be,
Suicidal words are chanted repeatedly,

[Chorus]
Bring Back the Dead, to succumb to fate,
Bring Back the Dead, that's what I hate,

Bring Back the Dead,
No matter what they say I'm the only one to blame,
Bring Back the Dead, I'll watch them pray,
Bring Back the Dead, We'll meet in the end,
Bring Back the Dead,
That is the only hope that can ease my eternal pain,
Bring Back the Dead, to succumb to fate,
Bring Back the Dead, that's what I hate,
Bring Back the Dead,
Now you're gone but I want you to know what should be done,
Bring Back the Dead, I'll watch them pray,
Bring Back the Dead, What'd they say?
Bring Back the Dead,
Though I know it's nothing more than death as a human...
