Lyrics

Suffocation

[Verse 1]

Rotting beneath, below

Ranting, "Too soon to die"

Redefiles all

Ranting "She's one to go"

Suffocation

[Verse 2]

You

Killing the chance denied

Ranting "She's only a child"

Rise above them all

Lifting the soul in pain

[Guitar Solo]

Lyrics provided by LRCLIB
