lyrics

The sky’s the bluest, that I’ve never seen.
The hills are dressed in the deepest shade of green.
The birds are singing songs as old as time,
Are they digging your grave,
Or are they digging mine?

The smell of grass rides on a lazy breeze
That shakes the leaves on a shady tree.
A gentle wave laps on the splayed shoreline,
Are they digging your grave
Or are they digging mine?

Are they digging mine?
I don’t want to die,
Are they digging mine?

From a little baby laughing carelessly,
To the darkest monster hanging from a tree
We will take our slumber in the Great Divine,
Are they digging your grave
Or are they digging mine?
