Why Did You Wake Me? lyrics

Why did you wake me from my slumber

Beneath the settled, silent sod

In exhumation inconsiderately so

That you bring my bones back above

Worms have long since had their fill

And all so grand hath gained but rot

What then keeps such grave importance

As to awaken my long left self done

Do you face then the end of life

That such circumstance, strife filled

Would it justify my reincarnation

Brought about by selfish desperation

Where were you in those years past

That neither gave care to my spirit

Nor tended the grave afforded me

Not to even pass the time of day

Distraught then, alone and afraid

What respite can come from bare bones

Left to dry out in a remote desert sun

Buried by a kind stranger passing by

Why did you wake me from my sleep

An eternity has wasted slowly away

Left solitary, moldering in darkness

Leave the dead be, your turn is anon

Do not leave me lying strewn about

That your purpose be met and reinterred

Your anguish ended in life's throws

Shouldn't be doomed to the same fate
