“We wanted to summarise the entire album in a song, give it a cliff note, a sign off, and also to make that a bittersweet thing. This is why the album ends with the lyrics ‘You were bound to die alone’ repeated ad nauseum. The album itself isn’t a happy thing and I think it is a fitting end the the...
[Verse 1]
Like a strange fruit that's out of season
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
You are bound to die alone
You will swing free on the breeze then
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
You are bound to die alone (You are bound to die alone)
At the end of the day, you went for lights out
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
You are bound to die alone
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
At the end of it all there is no doubt
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
That you are bound to die alone (We are bound to die alone)
[Chorus]
Don't darling die on me now
(Don't darling die on me now)
We'll dig a grave close to your home
(We'll dig a grave close to your home)
Don't you fix your eyes on me now
(Don't you fix your eyes on me now)
We never said you'd come back home
(We never said you'd come back home)
[Verse 2]
They're coming closer just to kill us
Don't cry, don't cry on me now
No, they ain't never gonna help us
Close to his grave, we'll build our home
They're coming closer just to kill us
Don't you fix your eyes on me now
You know they never gonna help us
We never said you'd come back home
End of the way when the thieves tell
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
You are bound to die alone
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
At the end of it all when the fields burn
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
You are bound to die alone (We are bound to die alone)
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
[Bridge]
Now god, heaven die, and die on me now
And we'll dig a grave close to our home
Don't you fix your eyes, don't you fix your eyes on me now
We never said you'd come back home
(We never said you'd come back home)
[Chorus]
Don't darling die on me now
(Don't darling die on me now)
We'll dig the grave close to your home
(We'll dig the grave close to your home)
Don't you fix your eyes on me now
(Don't you fix your eyes on me now)
We never said you'd come back home
(We never said you'd come back home)
