Removed Of The Grave Lyrics - Exhumed Of The Earth - Paramaecium

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
