Profesora de Instituto - The Premature Burial Lyrics

In shadows deep, I lay awake,
A restless soul that fear does take.
A silent curse within me lies,
Catalepsy blinds my eyes.

I dread the grave, the cold, dark earth,
To be entombed before rebirth.
I build a tomb with locks and light,
To save me from eternal night.

Oh, the fear that grips my heart,
Buried deep, alone, apart.
Will I wake beneath the ground,
Where no hope can there be found?

I read the tales of those before,
Who faced the fate I so abhor.
Their muffled cries, unheard, unknown,
Lost within the grave's cold stone.

One day I woke in darkness tight,
No breath of wind, no gleam of light.
Panic surged within my core,
Was I sealed forevermore?

Oh, the fear that grips my heart,
Buried deep, alone, apart.
Will I wake beneath the ground,
Where no hope can there be found?

But then a sound, a voice nearby,
A lantern's glow to soothe my eye.
Not a coffin, but a berth,
A simple mistake upon the earth.

Relief washed over, fear released,
My terror of the grave decreased.
From that day on, I lived anew,
Embracing life, as all should do.

Now the fear has lost its hold,
No longer am I trapped and cold.
Grateful for each rising sun,
A new life's journey has begun.
