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

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
