Bury Your Dead Lyrics


Midnight depredation

Your body reeks of fabrication

The lies once told cemented in

The past should stay dead

But its burial has yet to be

Tomorrow’s light, it shall forever see

Come to terms with your mistakes

Life will give and life shall take

Say goodbye to dreams, denied

All your hopes and dreams must die

Going out with a Glasgow smile

Lay to rest, your past so vile

Ritual delusions

The lies you tell just dig you deeper

Like rotting flesh to the maggots

Witness the birth of death

You’re only digging your own grave

Your flaw is what they crave

This flaw is your past

This initial buzz, it doesn’t last

If you continue down this dark path

Death’s cold embrace, you’ll feel its wrath

Going out with a Glasgow smile

Lay to rest your past so vile

Hammer in the final nail

Be done…Bury your dead

Waiting for the things that will never be

The past haunts you constantly

Looking at the world as something in which to confide

Tonight, all that is good and pure in you will die

Close the doors you left wide open

Like wounds in a stuck pig, life pouring out

Digging my own grave never felt so comforting

But if my time never comes…Bury me alive

All bonds are broken

The mystery left unsolved

Comes back to haunt you

All ties are severed

Pulled tight, then snapped

Naivety is so damn sweet

The past will come to haunt you

And kill all things that you thought true

Move on, put it six feet under

Walk away; take no part in her blunder

Going out with a Glasgow smile

Lay to rest your past so vile

Hammer in the final nail

Be done…BURY YOUR DEAD
