    Verse 1
    The 
    grave robber's 
    work 
    is 
    never 
    done, 

    It's 
    up all night 
    and sleep 
    all day, 

    The 
    hours are 
    shit with 
    hell to 
    pay. 

    Pockets 
    are brimming 
    from our 

    unique 
    brand of sin
    ning, 

    When 
    the 
    ladies claw 
    my 
    back 
    at night, 

    I 
    know I'm 
    doing something 
    right. 

    I deliver 
    the goods 
    as 
    long as they 
    don't ask, 


    Deny 
    I'm a 
    work
    ing stiff 

    like 
    dear old 
    dad, 

    And 
    to 
    you and 
    yours 

    noth
    ing 
    but curses, 

    You'll 
    slave your life 
    away, 

    And for what? 

    You're 
    just as 
    dead as 

    these old 
    fuck
    s. 

    They'll 
    never get 
    me, 

    I'll never 
    run 
    out of stock
    , 

    With 
    every second 
    that 
    ticks past, 

    The 
    bod
    ies 
    are still 
    stacking 
    up. 

    So 
    Verse 2
    I've clipped a 
    few 

    fingers 
    off 
    to get 
    that 
    gold 

    For 
    which I lust 
    from the 

    deadman's 
    bank 
    and 
    trust, 

    To the 
    depths of 
    hell 
    or 
    bust. 

    The 
    blackened 
    bits of 
    ex

    humed 
    evid
    ence 

    Embed
    ded 
    neath 
    my 

    fettered 
    fingernails, 

    It's 
    but a 
    smallish 
    part 
    of 

    what our 
    dirty 
    work 
    entails. 

    Verse 3
    Come 
    dance 
    with me, 

    This 
    grave
    yard 
    planet 
    that 

    you've 
    called 
    Earth 

    You 
    hold 
    in 
    such 
    a high 
    re
    gard, 

    It's 
    but 
    as 
    worth
    less 

    as a turd. 

    Will you 
    follow 
    me 
    into 
    the 
    dark? 






    I rob the 
    dead 
    for 
    what they're 
    worth, 

    Jewels, 
    wealth, 
    clothing, 
    sex. 

    When the 
    mood prefers 
    to 
    carve 

    a sullen 
    path through 
    life, 

    Within 
    the 
    fallen's shoes 

    you'd 
    turn your 
    nose 
    at 
    me, 

    Al
    though 
    I smell 
    of sheik perfumes. 

    So 
    I've clipped a 
    few 
    fingers 
    Verse 4

    off 
    to get 
    that 
    gold 

    For 
    which I 
    lust 
    from the 

    deadman's 
    bank 
    and 
    trust, 

    To the 
    depths 
    of hell 
    or 
    bust. 

    Verse 5
    Haunted 
    by 
    faces 
    when 
    I 

    try to 
    close my 
    eyes, 

    So 
    deeply 
    it 
    festers, 

    The 
    guilt is 
    murder. 

    The 
    blackened 
    bit
    s 
    of 
    Verse 6

    exhumed 
    evidence 

    Embed
    ded 
    neath 
    my 

    fettered 
    fingernails, 

    It's 
    but a 
    smallish 
    part 
    of 
    what 

    our dirty 
    work 
    entails. 

    Outro 1
    May the 
    gods have 
    mercy.

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
