Was it sin? Did heaven turn away? Or did one small kiss from trembling lips Unbury judgment day? Now she stands where the mourners stood With earth still in her dress Not dead, not whole, not bound, not free But burning nonetheless [Final Chorus] Anders kiss Anders kiss Break the grave And break the bliss Anders kiss Anders kiss Wake my bones And curse me with this Anders kiss Anders kiss Raise the dead And seal the rift
