Sleep Of The Dead
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.
Anoint my body, say the words and lay me in my grave
Death was creeping for so long, there's nothing they could save
Returned to the Earth
The place of my birth
Wrap me in my funeral shroud, put coins upon my eyes
Burning sage will let your prayers ride smoke into the skies
Returned to the womb
Once vibrant, no entombed
The Dark Sleep of the Dead will press you down
The Dark Sleep of the Dead will pressure you down
Bury my body, reform my soul
Anoint my body, say the words and lay me in my grave
Death was creeping for so long, there's nothing they could save
Returned to the womb
Once vibrant, no entombed
The Dark Sleep of the Dead will press you down
The Dark Sleep of the Dead will pressure you down
The Dark Sleep of the Dead will press you down
The Dark Sleep of the Dead will pressure you down
