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 nnumb 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 burial

Pronounced dead, I still see I lie motionless
A mind that's still alert while function cease
Awake, I still am forever trapped
The light of day it now will never be seen

The 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,
Expiration met, premature burial,
I still live, premature burial,
Kill me, premature burial
