Whitewashed Tomb Songtext
von The Rigs

Followed the path, took a bite when she asked
Saw the truth of the man you′d become
Searched for a light but in darkness you hide
For the fear that you'd burn in the sun

Kissed by the sweetest sin, a mark now you wear within
Your secrets keep you and you alone
Can′t wash away what's been sealed from the rain
So you hide 'cause it′s too late to run

You′ll clean the cup but won't drink the blood

Oh, tell me what′s a man to do
You spent your whole life in that whitewashed tomb
Now they're coming for you

Brothers you′ve killed with a stone in your field
And you're marked in a land not your own
You rule with a kiss and you love with a fist
Make sure no one knows where you called home


Even the shadows need the sun to cast facades upon the wall
Just make it real inside your head
But the attic is closed to the painting it holds
So you make beautiful what is dead

You′ll clean the cup but won't drink the blood

Oh, tell me what's a man to do
You spent your whole life in that whitewashed tomb
Now they′re coming for you
Now they′re coming for you

Come out, come out, wherever you are
Come out, come out, come out
Come out, come out, wherever you are
Come out, come out, come out
Come out, come out, wherever you are
Come out, come out, come out
Come out, come out, wherever you are
Come out, come out, come out

Oh, tell me (come out, come out)
What's a man to do (wherever you are, come out, come out, come out)
You spent your whole life (come out, come out)
In that whitewashed tomb (wherever you are, come out, come out, come out)


Oh, tell me (come out, come out)
What′s a man to do (wherever you are, come out, come out, come out)
You spent your whole life (come out, come out)
In that whitewashed tomb (wherever you are, come out, come out, come out)

Now they're coming for you (come out, come out, wherever you are)
(Come out, come out, come out)
Now they′re coming for you (come out, come out, wherever you are)
(Come out, come out, come out)
