Born in a tank - Candlemass

They buried me here in the winter

To an iron box I checked in

I’ve never heard birds or seen daylight

And nothing will ever come in

I’m happy to lie here in darkness

Naked safe, undisturbed

Floating blind in water

In my little world of dirt

I live underground, born in a tank, on a day I remember

Buried alive, like a dog, late December

I think there was a sound from a battle

And once I heard somebody scream

Today a knock on the door

It was just another bad dream

They want to keep me secure here

From a world in chaos I’m safe

I’m better off down in my small crate

Protected by maggots and rats

I live underground, born in a tank, on a day I remember

Buried alive, like a dog, late December

I live underground, born in a tank, in the midst of nowhere

Buried alive, like a dog, I was dumped and left here
