Lullaby Of A Dead Man
Treyarch Sound Lyrics

Life is still spinning
The cycle of life keeps moving forward and doesn't stop for anyone.

Your end, my beginning
Death opens up a new beginning for someone else who is still alive.

And everything I hope for has been strangely set aside
All the wishes and dreams that I had are now meaningless as things have happened beyond my control.

Breathing for living
The necessity for oxygen to survive as a living being.

My mind is forgiving
Forgiveness is an act of freeing one's mind from the burden of past grudges or pain.

And destiny is proving to be absent from my life
The idea of fate, good or bad, seems to have no effect on the present life.

I know it, I feel it
The gut feeling that can't be ignored and is often accurate.

I know when you're sleeping
The power of knowing other people's actions, which are often kept private from the world.

I know the things you're dreaming
The insight into someone's subconscious desires and thought processes.

And I know you will never give up and die
The admirable quality of perseverance, which keeps one going no matter what.

Conscious fulfilling, the darkness revealing
The awakening of the mind and soul to face the truth about oneself.

All faults and insecurities are shining like the sun
The negative aspects of one's personality and flaws are exposed and highlighted.

Eyes are deceiving
The illusions created by superficial aspects of life, such as appearances can often fool people.

Your mind will stop breathing and
The overwhelming sense of despair and hopelessness that leads to mental breakdowns.

All that you are made of will now rightly become mine
The darker notion of taking what is someone else's, whether it is possessions or something deeper, such as their soul.

Father, why have you forsaken me? My life is gone
The feeling of being abandoned by higher powers that control one's life can often result in a sense of loss and grief.

Father, know how long it's taken me? I live again
The anger towards the 'father' figure is so strong that it drives the person to come back to life, to prove a point or to seek revenge.

I love it when you're weeping
The twisted sense of satisfaction in someone else's pain and sorrow.

Even death can't stop this feeling
The intensity of an emotion is so strong that even the cessation of life can't put an end to it.

And I know you won't give up and die
The certainty that a person's will to survive and keep going is unbreakable.
