Considered Dead

Back in the fourteenth century

When the world was plagued by horrid diseases

Discovered lifeless bodies were buried

Knowing very little about true symptoms of death

Those who stiffen in the stage of morbidity

Were then considered dead

Autopsies were unknown at that time

Unconsciousness could have been fatal for your life

Catalepsy, from this plague a lot have died

Ignorance sent to the grave people alive

No way to save yourself from this calamity

Life will be for you a simple memory

Faint, now you're paralysed

Catalepsy soon will take your life

Try not to close your eyes

Death will be to life a deadly lie

Faint, now you're paralysed

Catalepsy soon will take your life

Try not to close your eyes

Death will be to life a deadly lie

When you're entombed

Within your mind you wait and pray

If you could talk

The only things that you would say

"I'm still alive, please"

"I'm still alive, don't bury me"

What a sad way to end a mortal life

But it's better off buried

Than to be embalmed alive
