The Last Gravedigger Lyrics

The day we learned, it was time to go

still packed our bags for no reason

Some carried bread, some had chocolates

though, they won’t need those in heaven

The boys going down, grabbed some cigarettes

They said hell ain’t a pretty town, but atleast its got some fire

The dancing girl screamed to the skies - that's unfair

but the skies just screamed blue

The world got high

The day the we died

The world got high

The day the we died

The cows did flips, the birds they sang

There was no one left who missed a man

But the dogs still gave a damn

the dogs still gave a damn

The nurse sat in the hall, she had no more to give

Hey, there’s a lot of lives worth saving

just one to live

Old soldiers got no more wars to fight

he found his peace of mind, he said

Dying ain’t what it used to be, boys

And he's died

many times

And the last gravedigger

sipped his last beer

He’s got one more hole to dig

no more to fill

When sun went down that night

he'd go down too

The worlds one big prison

when its only you

It was bright on that darkest night

the whales and birds

they sang along

as gravedigger, he downed his last beer

and as he wrote his last song
