Pardon the tears, I still have grave dirt in my eyes
You thought that I'd just passed on, so I must apologize
Upon my grave you wept, you swore you'd miss me so
I stand before you now, a fleshless, grinning skull

When Black Death sheds it's skin I am a man reborn
I have no inner light, I am cold black inside
Eternally asleep, another bad dream
And everything is wrong, and everything is wrong

There's nothing to fear, I know I must look decomposed
Baby, don't you worry none, I'll only need a change of clothes
And I could smell your brains, buried deep six feet below
A spark of love survived, from death I have returned

When Black Death sheds it's skin I am a man reborn
I have no inner light, I am cold black inside
Eternally asleep, another bad dream
And everything is wrong, and everything is wrong

When Black Death sheds it's skin I am a man reborn
I have no inner light, I am cold black inside
Eternally asleep, another bad dream
And everything is wrong, and everything is wrong

Pardon the tears, I still have grave dirt in my eyes
You thought that I'd just passed on, so I must apologize
Upon my grave you wept, you swore you'd miss me so
I stand before you now, I've come to take you home
