The Exhumation (demo) Lyrics

And the journey exacts a toll.

Once beautiful, once proud

Two thousand years beneath the desert sands

The sounds of a culture once loud

Echo down the centuries.

And as the earth is brushed away,

As once fine silks unfold,

Each leather face each leaden limb

A thousand stories untold

Beckon down the centuries.

And light falls on each mute expression

The first time since each heart was stilled.

The living gasp with trepidation

As each one's destiny is sealed

Calling through the centuries.

Open to the sky.

Open to the light.

Open to the stars.

Open to the night.
