The gravediggers lick their lips
And push their shovels against the earth
In anticipation, they discretely look my way
No, no, I reproach
You've come for the wrong one today
I don't have the strength to walk away
I wait, afraid
I pray
They stand together, discuissing my fate
The wind carries to them my a**urances
There's still warm blood coursing through these veins
Impure thoughts inside this brain
I wake with a start in a luxurious warm bed
Beyond the curtains, I see the cathedral
And at her feet, the gravediggers work
They turn my way, shouting and smiling mockingly
I throw open the delicate lock
Snow rushes in to fall on me
No, no, I reproach
You've come for the wrong one, I'm afraid
They look at me incredulously
They wait improperly, eyes devouring me
In anticipation, they discretely look my way
And push their shovels against the earth
In anticipation, they discretely look my way
No, no, I reproach
You've come for the wrong one today
I don't have the strength to walk away
I wait, afraid
I pray
They stand together, discuissing my fate
The wind carries to them my a**urances
There's still warm blood coursing through these veins
Impure thoughts inside this brain
I wake with a start in a luxurious warm bed
Beyond the curtains, I see the cathedral
And at her feet, the gravediggers work
They turn my way, shouting and smiling mockingly
I throw open the delicate lock
Snow rushes in to fall on me
No, no, I reproach
You've come for the wrong one, I'm afraid
They look at me incredulously
They wait improperly, eyes devouring me
In anticipation, they discretely look my way
