Lyrics
"... kiss the corpse, the blessed sigh, enter the garden of the night Shed a tear, suspended in fear ... - every soul is starving here ..."
The silence of the graves is not silent at all: Millions of the dead are crying in their graves But no-one can hear them ... no-one ever hears .. No-one can hear them ... except for the dead themselves
We can't die, no we can't die It doesn't even matter if we try We fear/hate the living, we shun the light Our beloved tombs keep us sheltered inside Sleep ... sleep is the brother of death So lie down beside this skeleton in the coldness of the grave Let the embrace of his dead arms keep you all save and sound Buried in slumber ... silently ... forever beneath the ground
Stalk "the night", if that's your wish With your foolish garlic-chain and crucifix Yet, if you find our graves, we won't be there There are thousands of places left for our despair
And every night it's the same again: "The feast of blood is about to begin !" We are wretched ... pathetic ... the flickering souls But staging our pain is all part of the whole And when all lights are fading, leaving but a fleeting glow Then, after far too many years, it's time for us to go
"Kiss the corpse - the blessed sigh - walk in the garden of the night Shed a tear, suspended in fear ... - cause every soul is starving here Hold the carcass, sweetest lie, bury the body you chose to deny Shed a tear, suspended in fear ... - every soul is starving here."
