[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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 shit
[Chorus]
Hi, I'm Icarus, I'm falling down
Man for judgment must prepare me
Spare, oh God, in mercy, spare me
[Verse 3]
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?
[Chorus]
Hi, I'm Icarus, I'm falling
From the dust of earth, returning back
For judgment must prepare me
Spare, oh God, in mercy, spare me
[Post-Chorus]
Lacrimosa
Lacrimosa
[Verse 4]
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
[Chorus]
Hi, I'm Icarus, I'm falling down
Ah, 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
[Post-Chorus]
Lacrimosa
Lacrimosa
[Outro]
Lacrimosa dies illa
Qua resurget ex favilla
Judicandus homo reus
Huic ergo parce, Deus
