Report to the Morgue

[Verse] Clock strikes midnight again Echoes in the empty hall Faces staring back at me Silent whispers call [Verse 2] Underneath the flickering light Cold steel and linoleum floor Stories paused forevermore As I close the morgue's door [Chorus] Reporting to the morgue Where the living never tread In the company of silence Among voices long dead [Verse 3] Paperwork and memories Marking lives that came and went Every sheet a legacy My heart breaks but it’s content [Verse 4] Heavy heart and weary eyes Counting hours til sunrise In this job I find my peace Where the talking shadows lie [Chorus] Reporting to the morgue Where the living never tread In the company of silence Among voices long dead
