Demo version of Buried in the Dust. Originally recorded for Hymns of the Night, but later re-recorded for From Beyond the Grave.
lyrics
The voices beckon from an unknown source
A sea of shallow emptiness
And once again I'm calling back to my home
For physical form dares to repress
This flesh and blood carries me, but to where
I'll never know if there's no point
Wondering how I could be saved
I won't be the one to disappoint
Rise above and sink below
Drifting from the undertow
This amount of hatred lay
Inside the cortex, so they say
Buried in the dust (the sword I plunge inside me)
I've become what I abhor
Lost in time, eroded (no one could save me)
I accept my fate
The end of the light draws closer yet
It feels as if there's nothing left
But who am I to judge anything
If I can't be, then what will come
To sentence oneself to their death
Is oddly blissful, I'll admit
I will let the dust lay over me
While I welcome myself to my new home
Rise above and sink below
Drifting from the undertow
This amount of hatred lay
Inside the cortex, so they say
Buried in the dust (the sword I plunge inside me)
I've become what I abhor
Lost in time, eroded (no one could save me)
I accept my fate
