Coins Upon the Eyes - Exhumed



Place these coins upon your eyes

The final payment in your necrotic tithe

And so the gleam that rendered you blind

Affords the last entertainment you'll ever buy



Filthy lucre's gleam - leaves you excoriated at the seams

The rented corpse you've been, now teems, a necrovore's unburied dream

Coin of the realm misspent - another grey life, came and went

Sundered and rent, your carcass spent upon the wheel unbent



Coins - upon the eyes

You paid to live, now pay to die



A lifetime bled out by degrees

Haemorrhaging figuratively

Now as you pay the final fee

It comes to pass quite literally



Evil's root unquenched - from your cold dead hands your legacy wrenched

Into the trench to stench along the other dead blood-drenched

Mortgaged life past due - just as you knew you'd one day rue

The contract in blood they drew, you signed and what ensued is that they ran you through



Coins - upon the eyes

You paid to live, now pay to die



Now pay to die



DIE! [x4]

Die - even as you think you live

Die - with all you have to give

Die - lifesblood drained as through a sieve

Die - with all your regrets to forgive - never forgive



[Lead - Matt]

[Lead - Bud]



This tenebrous tariff will cost you dear

In sweat and blood, but please no tears

Clinking coppers fall upon dead ears

Overdrawn and overtaxed for years



Coffin nails are never still - ever more plots we've yet to fill

Another deposit in the till, gravehills, rising grim and still

Some say that death is dead - it's all undertaking, too much overhead

But in sooth I'm in the red, in my deathbed I repose obscenely overfed



Coins - upon the eyes

You paid to live, now pay to die
