Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I hear them askin', will I play the caretaker
To your little grave?
There's no longer reasons why you'd be denied
The things that you've requested bravely
[Verse 2]
And be treated with the honor
Due a conquered long-timer
In the mist
[Verse 3]
Sight is a very precious sense
For those who've endured the blind
Life, a different form of life
Has a different form of death not withstanding
[Verse 4]
This dying song
This dying song
[Verse 5]
They say he had no heart, just a big
Hole in his chest
They got it wrong in part, trust me, we knew the blighted test
The test of test of test of tests
[Verse 6]
It was fate, the ilk have died like flies
And that fever moves with the swiftness
Out of date, when the face does leave the face
It's death clutchin' finger upon
[Verse 7]
This dying song
This dying song
This dying song
This dying song
[Verse 8]
Oh
[Verse 9]
History tells us it's always the same
When fire rages on that little grave
No longer reasons to be denied
They got it wrong, a dying song
[Verse 10]
This dying song
A dying song
[Verse 11]
She needs a doctor
Or an undertaker
Believe the mocker
Death-tripped forsaker
[Verse 12]
Death-tripper, forsaker
Death-tripper, forsaker
Death-tripper, forsaker
Death-tripper, a dying song sadly mistaken
[Verse 13]
This dying song
This dying song
