We keep on burying our dead
We keep on planting their bones in the ground
But they won't grow
The sun doesn't help
The rain doesn't help

If my garden would have a fence
Then the rabbits couldn't just come in
And sit on the grass
And eat all the flowers
And ****

Hi, I'm Icarus
I'm falling down
Man for judgment must prepare me
Spare
Oh God, in mercy
Spare me

Man, I have a terrible feeling
That something's gone awful, very wrong with the world
Is it something we made?
Is it something we ate?
Is it something we drank?

Hi, I'm Icarus
I'm falling
From the dust of earth returning
Man for judgment must prepare me
Spare
Oh God, in mercy
Spare me

Lacrimosa
Lacrimosa

We keep on burying our dead
We keep on planting their bones in the ground
But they won't grow
The sun doesn't help
And all we've got
Is a giant crop
Of names
And dates

Hi, I'm Icarus
I'm falling
Down on this day of tears and mourning
From the dust of earth returning
Man for judgment must prepare me
Spare,
Oh God, in mercy
Spare me

Lacrimosa
Lacrimosa

Lacrimosa dies illa,
qua resurget ex favilla
judicandus homo reus.
Huic ergo parce, Deus
