A Debt Owed to the Grave Lyrics by Revocation

Deathless

2014

[Verse 1]
A life extinguished in its prime
Summoned by the bell's strident chime
A bemoaning family laments
An Obolus the payment for a life that has been spent
[Pre-Chorus]
Silent and stiff
In rigor mortis' grip
[Chorus]
The die is cast
How quickly one's time can elapse
The ferryman will take you on your way
The coin's been passed
Empty is your hourglass
In a lightless chamber, the cold slab awaits
[Verse 2]
Stained sheets, the darkest shade of crimson
Bloated by the onset of decomposition
No one will mourn over his death
An Obol forced inside your mouth before your final breath
[Pre-Chorus]
Silent and stiff
No tears shed for a life now forfeit
[Chorus]
The die is cast
How quickly one's time can elapse
The ferryman will take you on your way
The coin's been passed
Empty is your hourglass
In a lightless chamber, the cold slab awaits
[Solo]
A debt owed to the grave
A debt we all must pay
