Lyrics
THE GRAVEYARD Words and music by Andru Branch © 2018
Life rough in a de Graveyard
Life tough in a de Graveyard
Life rough in a de Graveyard
Life tough in a de Graveyard
The herbalists have all been tried
And burned alive
At the stake they’re tied
Better run for your life
Like a bat outta hell
As the shiny black hearse descends on its kill
Children having kids with nothing to teach
Bitter taste of bile
From nothing to eat
Youth turn to crime to buy a dime
And bide their time
Until they die
CHORUS
There’s the Grave Robber
And the Grim Reaper
Whose blackened heart she stole
Now the blackheart man
Does what he can
To save his decrepit soul
Said the unwed Bride
To the undead Groom
As she dug by the light of the silvery moon
Ashes to ashes
And dust to dust
In Death do I put my trust
CHORUS
So the zombies came
And ate the brains
Of those living on top of the hill
The working stiffs
Systematically stripped
Of their decaying moral fibre
Like a disease
The recently deceased
Ego tries to capture the hill
Now the lifeless corpse
Without remorse
Returns again to the source
