Gravedigger

 

An iron fist in a velvet glove

Another vulture posing as a dove

Do you have no shame? Look at what you’ve become

You are the reason we are bitter and then some

 

Bitter and then some

 

They sing of saviors, we sing of sorrow

But we’re still holding on for dear life

 

You sold us all down the river

I hope you choke on the vows that you failed to deliver

You said you’d change the world but death still flies east

The blind lead the blind, so we bomb for peace

 

Gravedigger, there’s blood on your hands

You built this empire on salt and sand

Not all is fair in love and war

History repeats, we’ve seen this all before

 

We’ve given the vampires the keys to the blood bank, oh

 

They say, “The more things change, the more they stay the same”

Whilst the liars leech, the crooked preach

So lie through your teeth, lie like you mean it

In beggars belief, do you really think that we still fucking believe it?

 

You fucking parasite

 

There’s no room in here for an honest man

Only callous and cold hearts

 

Gravedigger, there’s blood on your hands

You built this empire on salt and sand

Not all is fair in love and war

History repeats, we’ve seen it all before

 

Oppressor, you built this empire on salt and sand

Oppressor, you built this empire on salt and sand

 

An iron fist in a velvet glove

Another vulture posing as a dove

Do you have no shame? Look at what you’ve become

You are the reason we are bitter and then some

 

Bitter and then some

 

They sing of saviors, we sing of sorrow

But we’re still holding on for dear life
