HANDCARVED COFFINS
We are all afraid to die
But yet we fear to truly live
Carve your name into my bark
These hands are meant to shape
Nimble and devoted work
For many layers need removal
I’ve grown old and withered
My skin has turned to stone
This beauty underneath
uncovered by your touch
These hands are meant to shape
Our sins and pride alike
Engrave those memories
Into this ardent soul
These hands are meant to shape
Build our coffins and our thrones
This time we tempt our fate
Reveal the diamond dressed in coal
Manmade mistakes, one foot in the grave
Our sins will bury us
Raised from the dead, reborn and shaped
Eternal dignity
We seek perfection
So we miss the beauty in our flaws
Afraid of impending demise
We forgot to savor this life
We engrave our sins
Though we should write in gold
The deeds that we achieved
Forever in our memories
These hands are meant to shape
Our sins and pride alike
Engrave those memories
Into this ardent soul
These hands are meant to shape
Build our coffins and our thrones
This time we tempt our fate
Reveal the diamond dressed in coal
These hands are meant to shape
Our sins and pride alike
Engrave those memories
Into this ardent soul
These hands are meant to shape
Build our coffins and our thrones
This time we tempt our fate
Reveal the diamond dressed in coal
We carve those masterpieces we call home
No, not a coffin, I’ll build a throne
