Lead Them To Their Graves [Studio 64 Demo 1993]

from A Few Drops More (Demos & Rarities 1985​-​96) by The Whisky Priests

/

  • Limited Edition Compact Disc
    Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    Whilst tidying up and sorting through all the old merch stocks, we inadvertantly came across these last two remaining copies of 'A Few Drops More'. This limited edition CD received a single print run of approximately 500 copies only which were numbered and signed.

    What marks these two copies out as particularly rare and unique, however, is that they have not been numbered and signed and must therefore be part of a very small number of copies that were printed slightly over the 1000 run.

    Includes unlimited streaming of A Few Drops More (Demos & Rarities 1985-96) via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

lyrics

LEAD THEM TO THEIR GRAVES

The moon is up the stars are out
You're in your shining tower
And love is shining down on you
From its heavenly bower
But the man in the moon will come too soon
Destroying all he saves
And you'll catch a falling star tonight
As you lead them to their graves

Bite the hand that feeds
Are the words you know so well
Yet you fight the hand that bleeds
In your self made living hell
Your love has withered down the years
Yet theirs grows with the days
And you'll reap their crop until they drop
As you lead them to their graves

A million tears count the years
From your cradle to their graves
On faces once so beautiful
Which love could not have saved
Do the flowers of romance still touch their hearts
Do they yearn for days now past
Will they bloom again in their twilight years
Or will they just fade away

The moon is up the stars are out
You're in your shining tower
Yet the architects have failed you
Their work has never flowered
A deep dungeon hides the greatest gift
Once beheld by eyes now glazed
Will they finally free what they long to see
As you lead them to their graves

As you lead them to their graves
As you lead them to their graves

(Gary Miller)
