Grave Robber,
Do you sleep at night?
Do you small talk with wolves?
With lustful eyes that sings for me and you?
Do your dreams invoke nights with spheres
Of contagious mystery and golden rays of flame?
With praise and toasts to the Gods?
You've told me your dreams; you've told me what it's like
To tip toe on the floor of your circumstances
In your big musty boots that reek of lies
"You walked to the cemeteries, to cement yourself
Greeted the ghouls, danced with the goblins
Sat on tombstones, had drinks aplenty
Laughed to the sound of night and its gestures
You've read the names, the names on those cold gray tombstones
And when you think you've read them all
Theres always one more, with your name"
Grave Robber,
When it's my turn to laugh from coffin
When it's my turn to roll in my grave
Which side will I be facing?
Because you have a gift
I have greeted the ghouls, danced with the goblins
But when I leave they're all still there
Greeting each other, dancing on my grave
That sits there ominously
With a sign hung up that whispers to me-
"Home"
Grave Robber,
How is your mouth so inviting, warm, with words of plenty
But your eyes are just so cold, brooding and empty?
How is the dark sky so moving, but blue skies so unwelcoming?
We've played with the night, flirted with cemeteries
We've counted stars, traced constellations
Sung eighty-eight verses until we sunk under the weight of Orion's belt
While Alnitak, Alnilam, and Mintaka caressed the handshake of evanescence
Yet to my detest, I'm now caught in your loop like
The sun slowly passing away, under the unforgiving horizon
Yet how can the unforgiving, forgive time and time again?
What's wrong with me, will you pull me out
Like Excalibur, and stab all the suffocating?
Would you guide me through the night
Just to push me into my coffin?
Grave Robber,
When I'm under the earth
Holding hands with the dirt
Would you dig me up?
