Catacombs

Can you imagine forever lying next to a stranger?
So many of us sharing this grave together
Decades dissolved into stone
No ghosts in these hallowed halls
Just souls unseen, cold hands comforting
And I see you so clearly before me (Before me)
And it kills me, I'm sorry (Sorry)
How could I never know who lived behind those eyes?
Who you were in life?
(But isn't it nice to know)
That death won't do us part
No one wants to die alone
(You never will be)
In the catacombs
They say I should be afraid
So why am I so at peace?
I'm grounded, I'm humbled by bare truth in these bare bones
No whispers, no winds
Just silence and stillness
In empty faces and eternal grins
And I see you so clearly before me (Before me)
And it kills me, I'm sorry (Sorry)
How could I never know who lived behind those eyes?
Who you were in life?
(But isn't it nice to know)
That death won't do us part
No one wants to die alone
(You never will be)
There's no names in this place
No status, no race
A thousand souls sharing one fate
(Take them home)
Proof that we're all the same
Take them home
No one wants to die alone
(You never will be)
