Schoolyard Heroes - Cemetery Girls Lyrics

The skies weren't always black,
But the bodies burned and the ashes rose
We're still burning
You came to place the wreath on the headstone of your father's grave
The soil soaked with tears and blood my dear nobody's safe
Do you hear me?
Did you say that we would make it out?
Look into my eyes the world is over now

[Chorus:]
Cemetery Girls
We will rise tonight while they are dying slowly
Cemetery Girls
Lovely widows of a broken world
Cemetery Girls

The cemetery line has wrapped itself around the world
Songs of desperation pouring out of all the little girls
We're still screaming
Did you pray? Well you can't stop it now
Why would you waste another word on God?

[Chorus]

I am the devil and I've come to do the devil's work
Children burning, demons marching on

I am the devil and I've come to do the devil's work
Demons marching, blood is streaming
I am the devil and I've come to do the devil's work
Death seduces generations

[Chorus]
