Lyrics
Black Earth Funeral
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Ridden with dismay
The soil itself is cursed here
Contorted trees bow like beggars
Against the glowing lurid sky
Past centuries are nearer
No monuments remain or linger
Decrepitude is writ in waters
Procession through a bleakish mire
Walk beyond the pale
Black earth funeral
Descend the path of flesh
Decay and fall
Draped in black they are
Solicitude a yoke they carry
Crooked mourners arch the coffin
The confines of a cold expanse
Draped in grief is he
The mower reaps a dismal harvest
Tribulation stirs the waters
Anguish dims a turbid pool
Walk beyond the pale
Black earth funeral
Descend the path of flesh
Decay and fall
Woe and sadness sinks upon
The land the wail of litanies
Unheard...
Writ in waters!
Great disease!
Joyless living witness kith and kin
Dissolve into the dark of
Time...
Quench the candle!
Draped in grief!
Death permeats it all
Black earth funeral
Death permeats it all
Black earth funeral
