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
