Open Grave Lyrics


Once upon a midnight clearing, upon an open grave

Dimensions indescribable, callings from the dead

Four by seven, six deep, though nothing as it appears

Desire to feed the afterlife, it draws the living near

Ensnared, rooted deep

Unimagined, secrets keep

Calling the ones of skin, drawing from unknown

Gravitational pull, shedding of flesh and soul

Entwined in the roots, becoming one with earth

Easy part is death, infinity becoming one

Witness to everlasting dark, attuned to solitude of soul

Written on every destiny, to writhe and lay below

Brethren of centuries collide, attained escape from ice cold hell

Stepping in no turning back, once filled empty still

Entrapped, rooted deep

Machinations, lay sleep

With the promise of an after life, draws the curious nigh

Obtaining knowledge of a broken life, defleshed as they die

Never stated a glorious world, entombed within the earth

Final resting the only thrill, time to approach open grave
