Sewerperson, Eric Godlow - Silent Night lyrics
[Sewerperson, Eric Godlow - Silent Night lyrics]
The same three colours fall off my chest
Martyred valour in the face of death
I hope they celebrate my life
'Cause God knows I tried to retrace my steps
Wrap my wounds and take me home
Dead on arrival in my flowered tomb
She loves a man in this uniform
So I sit and I rot as it drapes my bones
She said
"I wish I still believed he was coming home
'cause this silence is tearing me apart"
Times have changed from when we were kids
But no one could've told me
It would turn to this
The sky was grey when the carriage came
Bringing awful news from a landing ship
And in her dreams where she lays her head
She sees flashes of coastlines painted red
Lukewarm loaves on the lobby steps
Oh, the thought is nice
But they don't understand
Hold me as I desperately try
To move my arms and
Console my lover while I stifle
Coughs as I'm passing on
And the wars you win are forgot in time
But the fights you lose stick
With you for life
I promise I'll see you again
But I pray you don't visit me tonight
Martyred valour in the face of death
I hope they celebrate my life
'Cause God knows I tried to retrace my steps
Wrap my wounds and take me home
Dead on arrival in my flowered tomb
She loves a man in this uniform
So I sit and I rot as it drapes my bones
She said
"I wish I still believed he was coming home
'cause this silence is tearing me apart"
Times have changed from when we were kids
But no one could've told me
It would turn to this
The sky was grey when the carriage came
Bringing awful news from a landing ship
And in her dreams where she lays her head
She sees flashes of coastlines painted red
Lukewarm loaves on the lobby steps
Oh, the thought is nice
But they don't understand
Hold me as I desperately try
To move my arms and
Console my lover while I stifle
Coughs as I'm passing on
And the wars you win are forgot in time
But the fights you lose stick
With you for life
I promise I'll see you again
But I pray you don't visit me tonight
