Erasure
From cradle to the grave
You gave your life
Red ochre drapes the fallen soldiers
Left between a rock and a hard place to lie
Way before their time
Gutters in the gold, bleak
Where mothers bled
And the smell of death is nostalgia
Cold, where freedom never rings
But the rings are forever
A bullet’s enough to keep their mouth shut
Taken, cut
Face in the dirt
Carved up to serve the eye
And what alone separates a child from stone?
One’s dug up, the other’s in the ground to die
All for blood, bones, power, lust
Ravenous, your black hole mind
Until your ominous world collides
Blood, bones, power, lust
Ravenous, your black hole mind
Until your ominous world collides
Underground, not a sound escapes
And the only way out is down
Like a tear
Vanity drained from a dirt vein
Clean slate
No stain, the rock remains crystal clear
Red in pieces
Red in pieces
All for blood, bones, power, lust
Ravenous, your black hole mind
Until your ominous world collides
Blood, bones, power, lust
Ravenous, your black hole mind
Until your ominous world collides
Cradle to grave
A bullet’s enough to keep their mouth shut
If they need a reminder
Gem in the rough
You make it clear-cut
It’s worth more than a life
A bullet’s enough to keep their eyes shut
Rocks in their mouths
You’re better off like a diamond
Scattered in the ground
Red in pieces
Red in pieces
Erasure
From cradle to the grave, you gave your life
Amnesia
Gold and grandeur ate away at your mind
Erasure, Amnesia
Erasure
From cradle to the grave, you gave your life
