Ave Grave
In the beginning we rounded them up
All of the traitors to luck
And then we killed them and put all their bodies
Into one massive grave
As they approached where they'd spend their tomorrows
They never asked us a thing
When you give in to the mercy of time
You don't try to survive
You just try to get by on whatever it brings
(corpses ascend)
When we came back to throw lie on the corpses
There were no corpses there
All of the Trevors and Patricks and Davids
Were set to float away
We were not angry, we weren't disappointed
We were just doing our jobs
We barely missed them by a dangling hair
Up past fingertips into the air
As they rose up their look was reserved
Ave Grave
En el principio los reunimos
A todos los traidores a la suerte
Y luego los matamos y pusimos todos sus cuerpos
En una fosa masiva
A medida que se acercaban a donde pasarían sus mañanas
Nunca nos preguntaron nada
Cuando te entregas a la misericordia del tiempo
No intentas sobrevivir
Solo intentas salir adelante con lo que sea que traiga
(cadáveres ascienden)
Cuando regresamos para echar mentira sobre los cadáveres
No había cadáveres allí
Todos los Trevors y Patricks y Davids
Estaban listos para flotar lejos
No estábamos enojados, no estábamos decepcionados
Solo estábamos haciendo nuestro trabajo
Apenas los perdimos por un cabello que colgaba
Más allá de las yemas de los dedos hacia el aire
A medida que se levantaban, su mirada era reservada
