"Grave Sweet Grave" lyrics

I have seen my funeral in a thousand dreams
Its beauty...
Now the night descends
And drowns me in this dream once again

No stars tonight they all have ceased
No moon tonight to cast its gleam
Just a single flame lighting my journey

Two at my feet, and two at my head
Two carrying me at where my hands are laid

Endless sleep giving me peace
And eternally bringing release
Nothing more to be done
Nothing more to be lived for me

All my life I've waited for this eternal night
And now it's time
Soon they'll lower me down deep into the icy ground

Two at my feet, and two at my head
Two carrying me at where my hands are laid

And once there'll be a time that I have waited for
When the dawn will steal my dreams no more

Two at my feet, and two at my head
Two carrying me at where my hands are laid

Grave sweet grave - welcoming me home
Grave sweet grave - I'll be yours till the dawn

(The dawn shall steal my dreams no more)
