Erasure 歌词

Erasure From cradle to the grave You gave your life Red ochre drapes the fallen soldiers Left between a rock and a hard place to lie Way before their time Gutters in the gold, bleak Where mothers bled And the smell of death is nostalgia Cold, where freedom never rings But the rings are forever A bullet’s enough to keep their mouth shut Taken, cut Face in the dirt Carved up to serve the eye And what alone separates a child from stone? One’s dug up, the other’s in the ground to die All for blood, bones, power, lust Ravenous, your black hole mind Until your ominous world collides Blood, bones, power, lust Ravenous, your black hole mind Until your ominous world collides Underground, not a sound escapes And the only way out is down Like a tear Vanity drained from a dirt vein Clean slate No stain, the rock remains crystal clear Red in pieces Red in pieces All for blood, bones, power, lust Ravenous, your black hole mind Until your ominous world collides Blood, bones, power, lust Ravenous, your black hole mind Until your ominous world collides Cradle to grave A bullet’s enough to keep their mouth shut If they need a reminder Gem in the rough You make it clear-cut It’s worth more than a life A bullet’s enough to keep their eyes shut Rocks in their mouths You’re better off like a diamond Scattered in the ground Red in pieces Red in pieces Erasure From cradle to the grave, you gave your life Amnesia Gold and grandeur ate away at your mind Erasure, Amnesia Erasure From cradle to the grave, you gave your life
