A Debt Owed to the Grave 歌詞

A Debt Owed to the Grave - Revocation

Written by:Brett Cole Bamberger/David Nathan Davidson/Daniel Joseph Gargiulo/Phil Duboise-Coyne

A life extinguished in its prime

 

Summoned by the bell's strident chime

 

A bemoaning family laments

 

An obolus the payment for a life that has been spent

 

Silent and stiff

 

In rigor mortis' grip

 

The die is cast

How quickly one's time can elapse

The ferryman will take you on your way

 

The coin's been passed

 

Empty is your hourglass

In a lightless chamber the cold slab awaits

 

Stained sheets the darkest shade of crimson

 

Bloated by the onset of decomposition

 

No one will mourn over his death

 

An obol forced inside your mouth before your final breath

 

Silent and stiff

 

No tears shed for a life now forfeit

The die is cast

How quickly one's time can elapse

The ferryman will take you on your way

 

The coin's been passed

Empty is your hourglass

In a lightless chamber the cold slab awaits

 

A debt owed to the grave

 

 

A debt we all must pay
