The Girl Who Stood on a Grave

from Mortis Nervosa by Vudu Sister

/

lyrics

Dim lantern lights in the dead of the night
To see if he’s sleeping in bed
With thoughts so unclear cause his smirk has a smear
With the freshness of fresh-tasting blood
We’ll make a map and we’ll point out the land
She’s got a heart made of iron and a head full of stones

A gaze and a gift that’s given her guilt
It never should take her this long
To look through his eyes and realize
That the dead have their own agenda
And his hands are a bag of leather that’s cracked
And his kisses are spiders that found a new home

No coward is she but she died of fear
She’s the girl who stood on a grave

Dim lantern lights in the dead of the night
To see if she’s sleeping in fetters
I’m happy for her cause she finally felt fear
Without a bucket of water or minnows
And she gets to be cold
And never grow old
Except for the flesh that’s bound to decay…

No coward is she but she died of fear
She’s the girl who stood on a grave

Kids aren’t afraid to play midnight games
Like and hide-and-go-seek or the Candyman
But please hear the song of the bravest of all
The girl who stood on a grave…
