Six feet underneath the surface lies a corpse reanimated
Pushing upward to reemerge and free itself from its cage
Breaking ground, it reaches out and grabs the nearest soul unseen
Drawing life from the nether world and a facade from unknown dreams
The manor which it seeks
Lies not too far ahead
Home
Returning from death
Back to reclaim all
That was lost long ago
A king retreating to his hall
Returning from death
Back to reclaim all
That was lost long ago
A king retreating to his hall
Self-exhumation
Returning from death
To seek that which was lost
The treasures recovered from a bygone time
I now reclaim what was mine
The exodus now comes to a halt and arrives at the run-down house
Sights of years of constant neglect as the king had been cast out
Appalled at what it sees
A rotting blasphemy
Gone
Returning from death
Back to reclaim all
That was lost long ago
A king retreating to his hall
Returning from death
Back to reclaim all
That was lost long ago
A king retreating to his hall
