The days are hot And the dead lie unburied on the field So the wind brings the smell of blood So heavy and sweet ♪ They're back again We came so near and yet so far ♪ They're all around And if they come any closer We're done Keep my grave open, open wide Keep my grave open, I'm longing to die Cool and peaceful, and far from the battlefields Peaceful and opened just for me Keep my grave open, open wide Keep my grave open, I'm longing to die ♪ The moon shuts her eyes And great black clouds cover the sky Rain bathes the ground While we live in darkness like the blind Keep my grave open, open wide Keep my grave open, I'm longing to die Cool and peaceful, and far from the battlefields Peaceful and opened just for me Keep my grave open, open wide Keep my grave open, I'm longing to die
