Lacrimosa lyrics

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 shit

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
