Premature Burial
Scratching at the box, hand stretches from the earth
Deceased before I am dead, denounced since birth
Alone in this dark void, left to deal with my fear
No way to escape the embrace of the dead
Body numb, does not respond
My mind sees all
Coroner tags me for burial
Ignoring life's call
My body left to rot yet the blood still flows
Lowered down into my plot, the soil is now my home
Release of my soul is impossible to me
When I still possess it, how can it be free?
Not dead yet, why am I ignored?
Mourning for the dead
Not dead yet, while I still live
Premature burial, premature
Pronounced dead, I still see I lie motionless
A mind that's still alert while functions cease
Awake, I still am forever trapped
The light of day now will never be seen
Crawling of the insects
Is all that I now feel
Alive upon my flesh
My death is not real
Not dead yet (premature burial)
Mourning for the dead (premature burial)
The expiration met, premature burial
And I still live (premature burial)
Kill me, premature burial
Deceased before I am dead, denounced since birth
Alone in this dark void, left to deal with my fear
No way to escape the embrace of the dead
Body numb, does not respond
My mind sees all
Coroner tags me for burial
Ignoring life's call
My body left to rot yet the blood still flows
Lowered down into my plot, the soil is now my home
Release of my soul is impossible to me
When I still possess it, how can it be free?
Not dead yet, why am I ignored?
Mourning for the dead
Not dead yet, while I still live
Premature burial, premature
Pronounced dead, I still see I lie motionless
A mind that's still alert while functions cease
Awake, I still am forever trapped
The light of day now will never be seen
Crawling of the insects
Is all that I now feel
Alive upon my flesh
My death is not real
Not dead yet (premature burial)
Mourning for the dead (premature burial)
The expiration met, premature burial
And I still live (premature burial)
Kill me, premature burial
