Coins Upon the Eyes-Exhumed

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
