lyrics

Deep in the night you crawl out of sight through the loam
Calling to me, begging me follow you home
There was a chance once when we danced through fire and water
Away from the cities away from the death and the slaughter

I just want to rest
Your ghost still haunts me
I did what I thought was best
But you still taunt me
Your death it haunts me still
Some graves just cant be filled

Down by the river an unending shiver up my spine
Walking a ghost yet deliver a toast to the brine
The salt water comes in, the forgotten sins of our fathers
You and I, hands red, gift from the dead that we slaughtered

I just want to rest
Your ghost still haunts me
I did what I thought was best
But you still taunt me
Your death it haunts me still
Some graves just cant be filled

You come to my door way, bedecked in florae you burst through
The scent on your carcass, the beat of your heart lasting true
Deep in your eyes I see through your disguise as we falter
But death was our mission, our manumission in slaughter

I just want to rest
Your ghost still haunts me
I did what I thought was best
But you still taunt me
Your death it haunts me still
Some graves just cant be filled
