Alter Der Ruine - Bury It lyrics

Asked me to ghost him I don't like spirits The one I talk to won't respond Just sits on a still machine and she can tell that the quiet isn't ringing the bells And why, is it such a long way down? And why, must we rip up the ground? Choked into a knot, they never concede With eyes like boulders that roll for the trees (and) hands around our neck With nothing to say but plenty to spit And some day, we want a firmer grip But these days, we're all splinters scattered amongst the wood-chips (chorus) Bury It, bury it, bury it until it calls With airborn ashes, spread from eight legs To burn out all the graves We'll know when it's free The womb won't be so kind As to keep us sheltered in echoes From a scream that died long ago Hallucinations. The voiceless faces Woven together too fine To provide comfort outside When limbs shake, when the bead groans Try, braining a thought against a wall Tried, but the answer doesn't soften the withdrawals Detuned disposal, long and hard or short Hung like moss, from a rotting branch Tendrils away, ever searching, will this be it? Will this be it? Left, gutted in the mud Just like a skeleton, the one we always want to find
