Dead Man's Diary Lyrics - Quo Vadis

Reader: 

Dead Man's Diary on the nightstand 

will it hold the truth to an unanswered past 

Thoughts of yesteryears 

Will they be revealed to the world at last? 

Wooden floor cracks as I take a step forward 

A cold breeze in back of my neck 

A stench fills the room, the stench fills the room 

Accumulated dust showed by the moonlight 

Dark cover manuscript reveals its age 

My hand apporaches and I feel the rage 

Writer: 

I'll hunt you down and punish your life 

I'll nail you to the beams of red 

I'll watch you bleed and beg for mercy 

I'll savor the moment when our eyes will meet 

Reader: 

The content feared, the diary I open 

First page, "To my love, the first and last" 

A black and white photo from 1912 

An image to remember from a forgotten past 

I turn the pages, the horror grasps my attention 

Shocking plots, and detailed footnotes 

Confession begins: 

"My actions are haunting me, I must confess. 

But I fear brutal punishment for years on end." 

"The truth will stay with me untill my body rests" 

Writer: 

I'll hunt you down and punish your life 

I'll nail you to the beams of red 

I'll burn your flesh, you will be covered with sores 

I'll feel your pain as you scream for mercy 

Reader: 

A dark presence overcomes me 

Agression starts to roar within my veins 

The pages turn, without applying torque 

A blank page appears at the end of the plot 

The ink starts to appear as I read the words 

My name inscribed, the time of death appears 

Scripted to today's date, minutes untill tomorrow 

An unexplainable fear is experienced 

I close my eyes, I feel a soul above 

I look into his eyes 

His face... 

... My face 

Is staring at me 

Writer: 

I'll hunt you down and punish your life 

I'll nail you to the beams of red 

I'll ram a bullet right through your head 

I'll put an end to the misery
