Rob Jamieson - 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.
