You can't sing back
Tales from the grave
I keep on thinking I could have saved them
But all I can do
Is try my best to
Stay away, away, away
From the liquor and anger
That digs me a grave
Digs me, digs me a grave
My grandma raised me up a way
That keeps me on fighting to stay
You can't bring back tales from the grave
You can't sing back tales from the grave
Had monkey on back
Dirt on my soul
Blood on my clothes
And nowhere to go
But I'm looking back
You should see what I see
I know life is precious
You can't dissuade me
A dragon had me
In the grips of its flames
They put me to shame
People spit on my name
But it was worth it just to fight
Now I can give others a light
You can't bring back tales from the grave
You can't sing back tales from the grave
You can't bring back tales from the grave
You can't sing back tales from the grave
