lyrics
I lie
like a corpse in the frozen ground
midwinter
my eyes
can only see the sky
that clear blue sky
you can keep your heaven
you can keep your loving god
I can do without
you can have your lovers
you can your valentines
i can do without
i could stay right here
and feel as the life comes back
out here
unseen
and the sprouts shoot through my skin
and the blood drains from my pores
i can do without
your precious life
my heart's not beating
my pulse reached it's final stop
my skin starts fading
my bones started turning white
long ago
my thoughts start fading
my memories all gone
i'll disappear
for the ages to find
I will
remain in the soil right here
for you to find
so bring your shovels
and your excavation sites
and dig me out
from the frozen ground
so bring your tombstones
and your requiems
and sing your lullabies
before I turn to stone again
like a corpse in the frozen ground
midwinter
my eyes
can only see the sky
that clear blue sky
you can keep your heaven
you can keep your loving god
I can do without
you can have your lovers
you can your valentines
i can do without
i could stay right here
and feel as the life comes back
out here
unseen
and the sprouts shoot through my skin
and the blood drains from my pores
i can do without
your precious life
my heart's not beating
my pulse reached it's final stop
my skin starts fading
my bones started turning white
long ago
my thoughts start fading
my memories all gone
i'll disappear
for the ages to find
I will
remain in the soil right here
for you to find
so bring your shovels
and your excavation sites
and dig me out
from the frozen ground
so bring your tombstones
and your requiems
and sing your lullabies
before I turn to stone again
