Removed Of The Grave Lyrics

Removed Of The Grave lyrics

Within the grave the body lies still beneath the soil
Aimless roots invade
the casket as the body begins to spoil
Bereft of life, this rotting flesh,
once nurtured in the womb
From uterine to pine it rots inside its silent
tomb

Demon cry "With howls of laughter we saw them die
The life was
ripped from them in days gone by
We watched the carcass go down, lowered
into the ground
And we saw the dirt fall, now they lie there of no use to
Him at all."
At the advent of the firstborn of the dead
The Spirit gives
life to that which was mortal
Rent from the soil, exhumed of the
earth
Life is restored when removed of the grave

Within the grave the
body stirs as remains are realigned
The cadaver sown in weakness finds it can
forsake the pine
Cervical meets thoracic as it claws its way through
earth
Then the slab is rent asunder by a child of the rebirth
Demon cry
"They're disinterred to seize the sky
Raised to life and thence to never
die
We saw their eyes, they have power, their frailties are gone
We
thought that we would have more time
Before they would be rent from the
soil."
Exhumed of the earth, life is restored when removed of the
grave
At the advent of the firstborn of the dead
The Spirit gives life to
that which was mortal
Death has been devoured
