Exhume

Inhume to prevail
To smother in darkness
Exhume to proclaim
It's better in use

Buried beneath the earth
Shielded for mankind
Only to arise
Again in the night

Away and out of sight
Protected from the light
Preserved by nightlife
Improved through time

Exhume

Sucked up by the sand
Embraced by worms
Horrified by man
Worshipped by the dead

Inherited knowledge
Based on science
Now holds the secret
Of true preservation
