The Churchyard lyrics by Aurelio Voltaire
The bell in the churchyard it yells for me to begin
And my hands, they tremble and shake while a chill burrows under my skin
It rains in the valley. it rains from the skies
And it's raining deep inside my soul and it pours up and out of my eyes
Not long ago you here in my arms
And i swore i would protect you from harm
And here we are, on this hill
'neath the tree in the churchyard at dawn
How can we've fallen so far?
The earth is a blood red clay that cakes to my heels
And the stain grows heavy as lead but my heart it is heavier still
In a bout there's a raven and his eyes fix me with a stare
And he turns and screams at the sky and it burns like the truth in my ears
Not long ago you here in my arms
And i swore i would protect you from harm
And here we are, on this hill
'neath the tree in the churchyard at dusk
How can we've fallen so far?
No one should find out what it's like standing here
Hoping and praying you awake from this awful ordeal
No one should find out what it's like standing here
Digging a hole in which to bury your child and your wife
When they are finished they look like wounds on a hill
Two graves that lay side by side for my life and my lover to fill
No one should find out how it feels standing here
Hoping and praying you awake from this awful ordeal
No one should find out what it's like standing here
Not having the means to buy the medicine to save their lives
