6. Cyanide
Sleep and dream of this
Death angel’s kiss
Brings final bliss
Completely
Empty they say
Death, won’t you let me stay?
Empty they say
Death, hear me call your name
Call your name… Suicide
I’ve already died
You’re just the funeral
I’ve been waiting for… Cyanide
Living dead inside
Break this empty shell forevermore
Wait, wait patiently
Your death black wings
Unfolding sleep
Spreading o’er me
Empty they say
Death, won’t you let me stay?
Empty they say
Death, hear me call your name
Call your name… Suicide
I’ve already died
You’re just the funeral
I’ve been waiting for… Cyanide
Living dead inside
Break this empty shell forevermore
Say, is that rain or are they tears
That has stained your concrete
Face for years
The crying, weeping, shedding strife
Year after year, life after life
An air of freshly broken ground
A concrete angel lit right down
Upon the grave which swallows fast
It’s peace at last, peace at last!
Empty they say
Death, won’t you let me stay?
Empty they say
Death, hear me call your name
Call your name… Suicide
I’ve already died
You’re just the funeral
I’ve been waiting for… Cyanide
Living dead inside
Break this empty shell forevermore
To end this war
To end this war
It’s just the funeral
I’ve been waiting for

These lyrics are wrong
Here’s the real lyrics from the booklet:
Sleep and dream of this
Death angel’s kiss
Brings final bliss
Completely
Empty they say
Death, won’t you let me stay?
Empty they say
Death, hear me call your name
Call your name… Suicide
I’ve already died
You’re just the funeral
I’ve been waiting for… Cyanide
Living dead inside
Break this empty shell forevermore
Wait, wait patiently
Your death black wings
Unfolding sleep
Spreading o’er me
Empty they say
Death, won’t you let me stay?
Empty they say
Death, hear me call your name
Call your name… Suicide
I’ve already died
You’re just the funeral
I’ve been waiting for… Cyanide
Living dead inside
Break this empty shell forevermore
Say, is that rain or are they tears
That stained your concrete
Face for years
The crying, weeping, shedding strife
Year after year, life after life
An air of freshly broken ground
A concrete angel lit right down
Upon the grave which swallows fast
It’s peace at last, peace at last!
Empty they say
Death, won’t you let me stay?
Empty they say
Death, hear me call your name
Call your name… Suicide
I’ve already died
You’re just the funeral
I’ve been waiting for… Cyanide
Living dead inside
Break this empty shell forevermore
To end this war
To end this war
It’s just the funeral
I’ve been waiting for

@Dule, Thanks a lot for the correction Dule! The lyrics have now been updated.
I had the live version lyrics on and forgot to update them with the new studio version when the album came out. Thanks again!
