Cyanide Lyrics

BlackLegion1994 almost right, this song is about using Cyanide to make a suicide.(Cyanide - any salt of cyanil acid not sure about theese words, can't really translate them from russian) You have about one minute of life left if you breath it, you have a couple minutes more if you eat it. I think this song is about theese moments between life and death.

-Death, won't you let me stay? Maybe I've done the wrong thing?

-Suicide, I've already died -It's just the funeral I've been waiting for -Cyanide, feeling death inside -Break this empty shell forevermore

This tells about the moments when you haven't yet died, but already feel cyanide destroying you within.

Nice song, waiting for the studio version.
