Another Man’s Grave (Verse 1) I walked straight through midnight, past the bones of the trees, where shadows rise thick, like old heresies. I brought a drink and a handful of dust, to bargain with darkness, to barter with lust. The stars blinked out one by one in the sky, and I heard a voice ask “are you ready to fly?” (Chorus) Oh, don’t you see, my love, we’re bound to what we crave— and the grass is always greener, always greener on another man’s grave. (Verse 2) The circle was drawn, the candles burned red, I murmured old oaths to summon the dead. I burned all your letters, forgot your address, let the smoke carry secrets I’d never confess. My shadow stretched long as I knelt in a trance, and the Maiden and Mother both asked me to dance. (Chorus) Oh, don’t you see, my love, we’re bound to what we crave— and the grass is always greener, always greener on another man’s grave. (Bridge) So lay me down in cinders, cover me in clay, let the blackened one rise and lead me away. Beneath the cold moonlight, let heavens weep, for the sins we’ve sown, for the pride that we reap. (Verse 3) I drank from the chalice, tasted iron and wine, And wrote down my name on the beast’s dotted line. The night wore its cloak of silence and moss, and I struggled to carry my upside-down cross. Every promise I broke, every memory lost, Was cast into the fire, no counting the cost. (Chorus) Oh, don’t you see, my love, we’re bound to what we crave— and the grass is always greener, always greener on another man’s grave. (Outro) Now tip your hat to shadows, toast to the fiend, for the soil holds secrets we've drawn from your dreams. We’ll walk hand in hand through the nocturnal haze, and lay down together on another man’s grave.
