Alaric Azeez - The Grave Robbers Lament Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Runnin’ from your grave, got a suitcase full of bones
Did you really think I’d leave you here alone?
Hoppin’ on a train, gotta get the hell away
They’ll string me right on up for a crime I cannot say
One if by land, two if by sea
Either way I know that they’re comin’ here for me

[Verse 2]
It’s a long ways away to reach the western coast
But I’m gonna make it there even if I’m a ghost
There’s a place by the sea; a long forgotten cove
The place you’ve always longеd to call your home
Gonna find you a spot way up there on thе cliffs
So you can lie at peace among the coastal drifts
And I’ll build myself a home on the rocks down below
For all that’s endured I will reap what we sow
But a thousand miles away the train breaks down
So now it’s just me and my feet on the ground

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
And so I cross the desert at night
Down forgotten trails of the Navajo
Through darkened woods over mountains
Swallowed up by the ghosts that haunt them
I reach a river that cuts through limestone
And follow it straight to the delta
Where I feel the earth quake beneath me
As I step out onto the seaboard
[Verse 4]
And I look out over the great divide
And watch the waves drift with time
When I find the cove lined with conifers
I lay your bones in the ground
Just then your ghost appears
In the fog hung over the ocean
You say: “My god i hate to tell you
But, oh, these ain’t my bones”

[Outro]
Oh these ain't my bones
Oh these ain't my bones
Oh these ain't my bones
Oh these ain't my bones
