Revocation - A Debt Owed To The Grave lyrics

[Music: Davidson, lyrics: Davidson] A life extinguished in its prime, Summoned by the bell's strident chime. A bemoaning family laments, An Obolus the payment for a life that has been spent. Silent and stiff, In rigor mortis' grip. [Chorus:] The die is cast, How quickly one's time can elapse, The ferryman will take you on your way. The coin's been pa**ed, Empty is your hourgla**, In a lightless chamber, the cold slab awaits. Stained sheets, the darkest shade of crimson, Bloated by the onset of decomposition. No one will mourn over his d**h, An Obol forced inside your mouth before your final breath. Silent and stiff, No tears shed for a life now forfeit. [Chorus] [Solo: Davidson] A debt owed to the grave, A debt we all must pay.
