on my last night in the moonlight i remember how the dead flowers looked inside your shallow grave

lyrics

there is a place
behind your eyes
where time stands still

there's a hole in my soul
where the black light glows
in the dark hollow space
where i'm dead inside
this is how it is
since you've gone away
this is how it is
now that you're dead
and my heart is cold
and my hands are cold
like your body is cold
like your eyes are cold
dead like the flowers
in your shallow grave
dead like the flowers
in your shallow grave

dead flowers
in your shallow grave
dead flowers
in your shallow grave

there will be redemption
through a display of penance
perhaps then you will forgive
what was done to you

bring me the hair shirt
that i may wear unto the last days
bring me the hair shirt
that i may wear as penance
bring me the crown of thorns
stolen from the dead man
that i may place upon your head
when you can no longer see
let the angel of death
come down and close your eyes
let the angel of death
come take your spirit away
as the shovel cuts the earth
as the hole grows deep and wide
as the hole is filled with earth
with your body deep inside

unclean, unclean
you know you are unclean

yes, i admit it
i was overcome with joy
every time i raised my knife
to puncture your tender flesh
you are so unclean
so fucking unclean
now you'll sleep in dirt
with your lying eyes wide open
forever

twilight floods the earth
as the angel of decay
burns her wings for you
and lies down forever
among the dead flowers
among the dead flowers
among the dead flowers
among the dead flowers

dead flowers
in your shallow grave
dead flowers
in your shallow grave
