Born in a Tank Lyrics by Candlemass

Candlemass

2005

[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
I live underground
Born in a tank on a day I remember
Buried alive like a dog
Late December
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
I live underground
Born in a tank on a day I remember
Buried alive like a dog
Late December
Live underground
Born in a tank in the midst of nowhere
Buried alive like a dog
I was dumped and left here
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
I live underground
Born in a tank on a day I remember
Buried alive like a dog
Late December
Live underground
Born in a tank in the midst of nowhere
Buried alive like a dog
I was dumped and left here
