the grass grows up
e               f#
and through and through
e                  f#
piercing flesh and bone
b
the grass grows up
e                   f#
reaching to sky
e                f#
please don't die momma cry
b
the grass grows up
wither in fall and rust away
each blade a man today
the grass grows up

green blood gold flows crimson down the stalk
boils of white born writhing by the rock
sun going down makes an amber trail
for that nothing going up voyage sets sail

another long watch another spade of dirt
another precious soul lost to this earth
face into the sunset standing tall
death abomination coming for us all
