Grave Sweet Grave

Sentenced

I have seen my funeral in a thousand dreams

Its beauty…

Now the night descends

and drowns me in this dream once again…



No stars tonight… they all have ceased

No moon tonight to cast its gleam

…just a single flame lighting my journey…



Two 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 time…

soon 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 more…



Two 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)
