Taphophilia

lyrics

Taphophilia

Beyond the veil
Mystic shadows
What’s waiting for me
Poets speculate
Religions claim to know
Is there a formula
Some arcane secret
Pertaining to this fear
Unknown places
How they scare us
The secret places
Covers up the cracks
Inside
Who will forget me
When I’m gone

Don’t grieve for me
Don’t weep for me
Find some Beauty in this Death

Inside this gloom
Tainted shadows
Are waiting for me
Saints pontificate
Religion cannot know
Forgotten formulas
Ritual sacrifice
Binding up our fear
Encasing madness
And it will scare us
It will bleed us
Will you cover up
Will you protect me
Who will forget me
When I’m gone

Covered by the dark
Need a candle
To light the way for me
Will I need to pray
To understand this pain
Or have these stories
Been subversion
A beautiful lie
How to get out
Will I need to pray
Will you take away
A single story
From this tragedy
Who will forget me
When I’m gone

Don’t grieve for me
Don’t weep for me
Find some Beauty in this Death

Don’t pray for me
Don’t pray for me
Find some Beauty in this Death
