A Grave Is A Grim Horse

You cut your eye teeth on stone
Your feet stood firm in the soil
Your life is survived by your deeds
We will remember and honor your name

A grave is a grim horse
To ride

I passed through the darkness this night
With my face pressed into the earth
Thin is the veil, thick is the skin
To cross the borderlands of flesh

A grave is a grim horse
To ride

As I lie on this house of bones
Speak to me now of time's strange berries
Do ages repeat all the same?
Tell me what you see out there

A grave is a grim horse
To ride

To cross this bridge of shadow
Visions of silence all told
What the dead reveal to the living
My blanket can't keep out this cold

A grave is a grim horse
To ride
