Suffragio ✞ Didrik Dahl

Grant them rest

- - - - - - - ~ Didrik Dahl ~ - - - - - - -

Grant them rest
Grant them sleep
Tear out their eyes
Tear out their waking

Sleepless, damned
Parched throat, death rattle
Every breath an apnea
Boxed wine, drink my blood

May perpetual light shine upon them
So that they cannot ask
Shall I wake tomorrow morning?
Must I carry the weight of the day?

Honor thy father and thy mother
May they rest in peace
Those who have since died
Those who are as good as dead

Earthly life, place of trial
Failed from the start, I don't know
Lead us through the valley of tears
Boxed wine, frozen soul
