Buried Alive Lyrics
[Intro]
We are brought forth unto this world with nothing
And with nothing we depart
So I commend this body to the ground
With loving remembrance
Earth to earth
Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
[Burial Sounds]
[Verse 1]
I'm alive but dead, awake but asleep
As friends gather 'round and mourners they weep
My mind thinks of all the things I have done
My body is cold but my heart beat goes on
And on and on
[Verse 2]
As they lower me down into that hole in the ground
I scream out for help, but they hear not a sound
I tear at the lid, my fingers they bleed
Is this happening to me or is it just a dream?
[Chorus]
Summon the dead
Baphomet's call
Blood on my hands
[Bridge]
Let me out of here!
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
My bones are decayed, my flesh it doth rot
I'm lying in silk, take the lid off this box
My lungs gasp for air, my eyes scream for sight
I promise the rise of my body this night
[Chorus]
Summon the dead
Baphomet's call
Blood on my hands
Screaming in torment
[Outro]
I'm telling you all
Take heed of my plea
Answer my call
I'm gonna be free
