Grave Intentions Lyrics

Your dress hangs off you like the veil of Christ Your land is flowerless fields of ghosts I couldn't call you, you didn't want to hear I couldn't see you, you didn't want me near The strips of courage that you tore from me Are drowning sailors sinking beneath the sea Oh, the waves of fear The clawing of the dark You made it oh so clear With a poisoned mark Your dress hangs off you like the veil of Christ Your land is flowerless fields of ghosts I couldn't call you, you didn't want to hear I couldn't see you, you didn't want me near The strips of courage that you tore from me Are drowning sailors sinking beneath the sea And it's the way that I heal That keeps me from the mire Within these words I seal Then cast upon the fire There were dreams in which I wanted to Eat your flesh and to devour you But you left, I wondered where you'd go And so it seems, we will never know Your dress hangs off you like the veil of Christ Your land is flowerless fields of ghosts I couldn't call you, you didn't want to hear I couldn't see you, you didn't want me near The strips of courage that you tore from me Are drowning sailors sinking beneath the sea
