The Churchyard
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
