We Salute You In Your Grave
Engulfed in despair, the world still turns
So that the sun sets never cease
And there will never be any tomorrows
Because the immortal are falling from grace
Drowned in gloom, the skies blacken
So the winds become fiercer
And the night conquers
Because the jaundice flesh is devoured from the inside out
Tossed in sorrow, black rivers cascade from innocent white porcelain faces
So the eyes flicker with pity
And the ground tears apart, revealing the crusted, hardened earth
Because the soul departs
Returned, never again
So walk away
And the backs now shun
Because the gray slab intimidates
Praised forevermore
So the name will carry on
And somehow, smiles shatter through stony expressions
Because we salute you in your grave
So that the sun sets never cease
And there will never be any tomorrows
Because the immortal are falling from grace
Drowned in gloom, the skies blacken
So the winds become fiercer
And the night conquers
Because the jaundice flesh is devoured from the inside out
Tossed in sorrow, black rivers cascade from innocent white porcelain faces
So the eyes flicker with pity
And the ground tears apart, revealing the crusted, hardened earth
Because the soul departs
Returned, never again
So walk away
And the backs now shun
Because the gray slab intimidates
Praised forevermore
So the name will carry on
And somehow, smiles shatter through stony expressions
Because we salute you in your grave
