Lyrics

Buried Alive

Buried alive

Buried alive

Waking up to the breath of the ore, in a sea of black

If you cut a worm in two the other half will grow back

If I’m alive or dead I don’t really care as long as my soul's intact

Buried alive

Buried alive

Stinking corpse, I smell but cannot see, you hateful neighbor!

Pride, monomania, everything from Earth, topaz vapor

Hichloridized polyethylene resin lacquered newspaper

Buried alive

Buried alive

Maybe I’m wrong

Maybe I’m waking for the day
