We keep on burying our dead

We keep on planting their bones in the ground

But they won't grow, the sun doesn't help

The rain doesn't help

If my garden would have a fence

Then the rabbits couldn't just come in

And sit on the grass and eat all the flowers

And shit

Hi, I'm Icarus

I'm falling down

Man for judgement must prepare me

Spare oh god and mercy

Spare

Man I have a terrible feeling

That somethings gone awful wrong with the world

Is it something we made

Is it something we ate

Is it something we drank

Hi I'm Icarus

I'm falling

From the dust of earth

Returning back for judgement

We must prepare

Spare oh god and mercy

Spare me

Lacrimosa

Lacrimosa

They keep on burying our dead

They keep on planting their bones in the ground

But they won't grow

The sun doesn't help

And all we've got isn't a giant crop of names

And dates

Hi I'm Icarus, I'm falling down

On this day of tears and mourning

From the dust of earth returning

Man for judgement must

Spare me, spare oh god and mercy

Spare me

Lacrimosa

Lacrimosa
