 Grave Sweet Grave
Grave Sweet Grave
I have seen my funeral in a thousand dreams
Its beautyNow the night descends
and drowns me in this dream once againNo stars tonight' they all have ceased
No moon tonight to cast its gleam
'just a single flame lighting my journeyTwo at my feet, and two at my head
Two carrying me at where my hands are laid
Endless sleep' giving me peace
and eternally bringing release
Nothing more to be done
Nothing more to be lived for me
All my life I've waited for this eternal night
and now it's timesoon they'll lower me down deep into the icy ground
Two at my feet, and two at my head
Two carrying me at where my hands are laid
'and once there'll be a time that I have waited for
when the dawn will steal my dreams no moreTwo at my feet, and two at my head
Two carrying me at where my hands are laid
Grave Sweet Grave - welcoming me home
Grave Sweet Grave - I'll be yours till the dawn
(the dawn shall steal my dreams no more)
