Gravedigger Lyrics

Architects:

An iron fist in a velvet glove

Another vulture posing as a dove

So you have no shame?

Look at what you've become

You are the reason we are bitter and then some

(blarg)

... bitter and then some

They sing of saviours, we sing of sorrow

But we're still holding on for dear life

You sold us all down the river

I hope you choke on the vows that you failed to deliver

You said you'd change the world, but death still flies east

The blind lead the blind, so we bomb for peace

Grave digger, (Gravedigger)

there's blood on your hands

You built this empire on salt and sand

Not all is fair in love and war

History repeats, we've seen this all before

We've given the vampires

the keys to the blood bank

(Oh!)

They say the more things change, the more they stay the same

Whilst the liars leech, the crooked preach

So lie through your teeth, lie like you mean it

It beggars belief, do you really think that we still fucking believe it?

You fucking parasite

(blarg!)

There's no room in here for an honest man,

only callous and cold hearts

Gravedigger, (Gravedigger)

there's blood on your hands

You built this empire on salt and sand

Not all is fair in love and war

History repeats, we've seen this all before

Oppressor,

you built this empire on salt and sand.

Oppressor,

you built this empire on salt and sand.

An iron fist in a velvet glove

Another vulture posing as a dove

So you have no shame?

Look at what you've become

You are the reason we are bitter and then some

(blargh)

... bitter and then some

They sing of saviours, we sing of sorrow

But we're still holding on for dear life
