Lyrics A Grave Mistake (Live in Lowell / 2022) - ICE NINE KILLS

People always believed that when someone dies
A crow carries their soul to the land of the dead
But sometimes, something so bad happens
That total sadness is carried with it, and the soul can't rest
And sometimes, just sometimes, the crow can bring that soul back
To put the wrong things right

Here lies the lifeless bride and groom
"Till death do us part" came far too soon
Buildings burn and people die
All of the time

But I've heard that you reap what you sow
So around and around we go
And when you see my face, you'll know

You can't save yourself or save your soul
When you meet the man whose life you stole
With weathered wings and broken bones
A flight for the fallen, flies the crow
You can't save yourself

These vengeful thoughts trapped underneath
Rage, scorn, misery
Payback for what you took from me
Hope, love, sanity

I've heard that you reap what you sew
So here's to believing in ghosts
Now when you see my face, you'll know

You can't save yourself or save your soul
When you meet the man whose life you stole
With weathered wings and broken bones
A flight for the fallen, flies the crow

No forgiveness, just farewell
A match made in heaven
You sent us straight to hell
No forgiveness, no escape
May you rest in pieces
For your grave mistake
Massachusetts, I need you to put your hands
In the sky with us right now
Repeat after me, "For your grave mistake"
For your grave mistake

You can't save yourself or save your soul
When you meet the man who's life you stole
With weathered wings and broken bones
A flight for the fallen, flies the crow
You can't save yourself

No, you can't save yourself (We love you, Massachusetts)
For your grave mistake
You can't save yourself
