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 to your life
 Catalepsy, from this plague a lot have died
 Ignorance sent to the grave people alive

 There's 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
 Cause 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
