Analysis of Mortem

Sabbathi 2005 (Bakersfield, California)



I was doomed by birth
doomed just living on planet earth
People just wanna tear others down
thats just how the world works
War is the illusion
peace has no possible way of working
So bury me now
bury so deep in the ground that when judgement day comes ill be the last soul trying too get into heaven
