Gravely Speaking Songtext
von Auraboros

Look at how you′ve grown my dear
Time comes for us all
A votive candle burning dully in a
Stone and stained-glass hall

Are you there in the back room
Of that hundred-year-old house?
Stood somewhere in this silence
That has woven shut our mouths

Is there gonna be an end?
Will it be quick or slow?
Do we really have the final say on where we're to go?

Will the corruption get us too?
Is the blood cursed from the seed?
Do we go like Bobby Sands or could we
Stand and see?

Gravely speaking
I guess I miss the idea of salvation
What would it take to feel alive


All I′ve learned
Is nothing else can cure the soul but the senses
A mothers grasp, a daughter's cry
I bide my time, watch everything

Grinding yourself to the bone with all the teeth you had left
Several families to feed
I didn't know you back then
And I′m guessing neither did you

We never saw you on your back till you were bed bound
Knowing I would never see you again
I couldn′t tear myself away
Tell you my new name

Gravely speaking
I guess I miss the idea of salvation
What would it take to feel alive

All I've learned
Is nothing else can cure the soul but the senses
A mothers grasp, a daughter′s cry
I bide my time, watch everything

Day to day, night to night
We bide our time, play with Hades in the sunlight
Toothless mouths, bleeding eyes
Our monsters crawl out from the inside


Day to day, night to night
We bide our time, play with Hades in the sunlight
A desperate grasp, pathetic cry
I bide my time, watch everything

Gravely speaking
I guess I miss the idea of salvation
What would it take to feel alive

All I've learned
Is nothing else can cure the soul but the senses
A mothers grasp, a daughter′s cry
I bide my time, watch everything
Die
