Mortal Dread Songtext
von The Darkness

I wake up so early
The sun has only just set
I wake up in a middle-aged body
To the toilet I must get
I wake up with no purpose
No raison d′etre
I wake up and the world is changing
I don't feel any different yet

Mortal dread
Until death comes
Mortal dread creeps
Mortal dread
Until death comes
Mortal dread creeps


We wake up in these brackish waters
Neither here nor there
We wake up and drift into each other
Coming up for air
We wake up and every breath is precious
Pulling each other down
We wake up and try to save each other
We wake up and then we drown

Mortal dread
Until death comes
Mortal dread creeps
Mortal dread
Until death comes
Mortal dread creeps

I wake up and I just don′t matter
Shed an invisible tear
I wake up 'til that grin is back
Dressed a younger man I used to be

Mortal dread
Until death comes
Mortal dread creeps
Mortal dread
Until death comes
Mortal dread creeps


Mortal dread
Until death comes
Mortal dread creeps
Mortal dread
Until death comes
Mortal dread creeps

Mortal dread
Until death comes
Mortal dread creeps
