As I lie in this earth
My lifetimes they pass by
I listen to the centuries collide
In my peaceful slumber

Some distant day since I swung
I felt air upon my skin again
Ripped from my bed
And taken far away
My examination sickens me

Though I feel so disturbed
I have heard them speak
For once those millenia ago
I hung for unspoken deeds
Now I am known, and finally
I am special.

This flows well, and the whole idea is lovely. Phrases like 'I listen to the centuries collide' are near brilliant. Love, Maria.
