Play Dead

Lyrics:

A moth into a butterfly
And a lie into the sweetest truth
I'm so afraid of life

I try
To call your name but I'm
Silenced by the fear of dying in your heart once again

I see the seasons changing
And in the heart of this autumn I fall
With the leaves from the trees

I play dead
To hide my heart
Until the world gone dark fades away

I cry
Like god cries the rain
And I'm just one step away
From the end of today

I see the reasons changing
And in the warmth of the past I crawl
Scorched by the shame

I play dead
To hide my heart
Until the world gone dark fades away
And I stay dead
Until you veil my scars and say goodbye to fate
Before it's too late
Before it's too late

I play dead
To hide my heart
Until the world gone dark fades away
I stay dead
Until you veil my scars and say goodbye to fate
I play dead
To hide my heart
Until the world gone dark fades away
Before it's too late

Just think of the emotions Ville would have when he was writing this song...

Play Dead Awesome

I would say it was the best song on the album, in my books. I love the whole album. I play this song quiet a bit enjoy singing along with it. A great song, from a great band.

Oh how I adore this song.

Oh how I adore this song.

"This is our only proper ballad on the album, It's a bit like what we did with 'Sweet Pandemonium' before. It's like This Mortal Coil meets Black Sabbath - a weird lullaby that you'd never want to play for a kid."

How utterly true. A heartfelt ballad that I will always cherish, for sure.
