Lyrics:
Unearth!
Alive!
I'm digging it all up with my dull knife
I know the breakup wasn't pretty
And the imagery I pity
Your coffin wasn't a good fit
And now I'm rebuilding it
I light the grave
with my oil wick
Oh the scenery is horrible
The smell just makes me sick
It took me years to realize I'm not to blame
And soon the inscription of your gravestone will carry my name
Bit by bit I trench and I strive
To pull your dead body back into life
Now it's time for me to see
What's left of your legacy
It's an invitation for exhumation
It's when you're six feet deep that I can finally sleep
I can't sleep
(And what I found down there was barely human
an amalgamation of in agony screaming bodies violently stitched together
but I don't feel any fear)
How many times I lied awake
The constant ringing of your death bell had my sanity at stake
Now I'll descend into your pit
After all we got together one more time to savor it
But it's my rules this time
And all this stubborn grime
That kept me all these years a witness of your underhanded chime
It will be purified
And by candlelight
I'll be peeling off your skin while the sounds echo into the night
I can't sleep
