Premature Burial

Album: Join Hands (1979)

  • This catacomb compels me
    Corroding and inert
    It weights and tries to pull me
    Must I resist or re-assert?

    The unchanged and the unchangeable
    Doing the zombierama
    Singing Oh come and be like me,
    We're all sisters and brothers

    Ejected to this state of being
    Don't bury me with this
    I'm in a state of catalepsy
    Can I really exist?

    Clawing from the inside
    Drowning in your chant
    Thoughts come flooding through me
    Despairing unity

    The unchanged and the unchangeable
    Doing the zombierama
    Singing Oh come and be like me,
    We're all sisters and brothers


    Red and white carnations
    Can't intoxicate my brain
    This blissful suffocation
    It is driving me to pain
    Oh what a bloody shame

    The unchanged and the unchangeable
    Doing the zombierama
    Singing Oh come and be like me,
    We're all sisters and brothers


    I'm not your sister
    Or your brother
    Don't bury me with this
    Join hands-join hands
    We're all sisters and brothers
    Sisters and brothers
    I can't relate to you
    You're no relation of mine
