Bury Me Alive

Music: Nathan Sadd
Lyrics: Aarran Tucker, Chris Martin

The gavel strikes down with resounding sound
A premature burial for my crimes
For sins that were not my own
I've been cast into the ground
Is this my last day?
On my knees I beg and pray

Sealed inside, wood and nails
Forced into an unmarked grave

Suffocating, crawling back I peer through cracks
Disorientating, coffin fodder gasping as they...

Bury me alive

Smothered in dirt, entombed in earth
A prison from which there's no escape
Forlorn feeling, restless seething
I cannot escape my fate

Darkness falls, death draws nearer
Now I see things so much clearer

Asphyxiation, carneous degeneration
Deprivation, breathless I let go, they have...

Buried me alive

Solo: Sadd

Resurrect me from the grave, I am not another slave
Ill-born judgement for my sins, cacophony of inner rage
Ledgered entries, mass decay
Ripping off my fingernails
Imprisoned here, my final days
Rejection of the firmament

Immurement completed, punishing deceit
Imminent defeat, choking as I scream

Why am I condemned?
Close my eyes wait for the end
Praying for relief
Endless torment, claustrophobic
Falling to the endless sleep
Forever entombed six feet deep

Suffocating, crawling back I peer through cracks
Disorientating, coffin fodder gasping as they...

Bury me alive
