Regina Spektor - Lacrimosa Lyrics

We keep on burying our dead
We keep on planting their bones in the ground
But they won't grow
The sun doesn't help
The rain doesn't help

If my garden would have a fence
Then the rabbits couldn't just come in
And sit on the grass
And eat all the flowers and shit

Hi, I'm Icarus, I'm falling down
Man, for judgment must prepare me
Spare, oh god, in mercy spare me

Man, I have a terrible feeling
That something's gone awful, very wrong with the world
Is it something we made?
Is it something we ate?
Is it something we drank?

Hi, I'm Icarus, I'm falling
From the dust of earth returning back
For judgement must prepare me
Spare, oh god in mercy, spare me

Lacrimosa
Lacrimosa

We keep on burying our dead
We keep on planting their bones in the ground
But they won't grow
The sun doesn't help
And all we've got is a giant crop
Of names and dates

Hi, I'm Icarus, I'm falling down
Ah, this day of tears and mourning
From the dust of earth returning
Man, for judgement must prepare me
Spare, oh god in mercy, spare me

Lacrimosa
Lacrimosa

Lacrimosa dies illa
Qua resurget ex favilla
Judicandus homo reus
Huic ergo parce, Deus
