Buried Alive

Hearing the preacher

Reciting his holy prayer

Hearing my family as they cry in pain

Realizing all too scared to believe

All tough I know I’m not gone insane

Wide open eyes slowly beating heart

Lethargic state they thought I was dead

Laid me down in a grave nailed up the cover

Put me down in a hole six feet underground

I hear the bell I’m down in hell

As there a worse fate than to be buried alive

Earth to earth ashes to ashes

And dust to dust

Where the last words the preacher said for me

How the grave diggers shovel soil upon my grave

Silence creeps up around me

All seems to fade so far away

Distanced from life living yet dead

Tears pouring down my cheeks

So afraid of my death

I’m losing my mind

My lungs gasp for air

I hear the bell…
