Gravedigger by This Way to the Egress Lyrics

The bones erode up out of that grave
It's a sticky situation within that cave
The marble statuesque will fade
We realize that it's time to dig
Granite fixtures grain to dust
Heaven's gate begins to rust
Emblazoned skulls start to crack
The lightning rod is the devil's back

We must rise so high
To see the fire burning down the last blue sky!

You dig that hole all wide and deep
Creature comforts you as you sleep
The spade digs in, your child weeps
Hasn't eaten for a week
Compass closed, no point north
Scumbags shootin' from their porch
Gotta find a way outta this place
Before that rain melts off our face
We must rise so high
To see the fire burning down the sky!

Gotta go down and dig that grave
Gotta go down and dig that grave
Gotta go down and dig that grave
Gotta go down and dig that grave
Gotta go down and dig that grave
Gotta go down and dig that grave
Gotta go down and dig that grave
Gotta go down and dig that grave

The bones erode up out of that grave
(Gotta go down and dig that grave)
It's a sticky situation within that cave
(Gotta go down and dig that grave)
The marble statuesque will fade
(Gotta go down and dig that grave)
We realize that it's time to dig
(Gotta go down and dig that grave)

Granite fixtures grains to dust
(Gotta go down and dig that grave)
Heaven's gate begins to rust
(Gotta go down and dig that grave)
Emblazoned skulls start to crack
(Gotta go down and dig that grave)
The lightning rod is the devil’s—
(Gotta go down and dig that grave)
Gotta go down and dig that grave
Gotta go down and dig that grave
Gotta go down and dig that grave
Gotta go down and dig that grave
Gotta go down and dig that grave
Gotta go down and dig that grave
Gotta go down and dig that grave
Gotta go down and dig that grave
