lyrics

Mary lived in magpie city
Where the grass seemed green and full of light
Got her work done, seemed so pretty
Never wasted thoughts on faded times
Lived her life like tasty candy
Sang a song and spread so much delight
Never questioned what they told her
Always saw the world in coloured rhymes


Bury her bones when she's gone
since she never reached for the sun


Catched the bus at the last minute
Smoothed her hair back, took a seat and laughed
Looked through me out of the window
Guess she didn't know how to be sad
You could not be angry with her
Didn't mean it nastily but dear
Butter wouldn't melt in her mouth
She would never smell the stench of fear


Bury her bones when she's gone
since she never reached for the sun
They will not remember her name
but wipe their hands clean without shame


The sun, the sun shows everyone
The light, the light that made us blind
to secure Mary's kind
from the cave down to the gallow's pole


The sun, the sun taught everyone
to fight, to fight for man's delight
to secure Mary's kind
from the cave down to the gallow's pole


Conductor said 'there's nothing special!'
despite of the obvious reverse
You perceive what you believe
So they all laughed and looked away immersed
Mary didn't notice these
destructive moods that left me quite amazed
You know dead men tell no tales
So she went home and nobody was safed


Bury her bones when she's gone

In early 2014 the first EP has been recorded in Lübeck and the band is playing live regularly, the first full-length is being reeased in April 2016. ... more
