1. Graveyard is a hard rock band from Gothenburg, Sweden.
Joakim Nilsson, Rikard Edlund (both formerly of Norrsken), Axel Sjöberg, and Truls Mörck formed Graveyard in 2006. When Norrsken disbanded in 2000, guitarist Magnus Pelander went on to form doomy folk metal act Witchcraft and Nilsson and Edlund joined Albatros, a growly blues rock band whose lineup also included Sjöberg on drums. Initially they considered Albatros a hobby project, but after five years the members began taking their music more seriously and had grown dissatisfied with the direction their sound had taken. When Albatros broke up, Nilsson and Edlund decided that for their next venture, they would head back towards their roots as musicians and songwriters. Nilsson explains, “I am a singer, but in Albatross I only played guitar. Rikard played guitar but he is a bass player. We also wanted a more straightforward [rock] sound.”
Together with Sjöberg and guitarist/singer Truls Mörck they began practicing as Graveyard. Upon their initial formation, Graveyard quickly recorded a two track demo, played a total of three shows, and began planning for a full-length album with Swedish boutique label, Transubstans Records. In the meantime, they posted a demo of some of their material on MySpace. Songs from the band's Myspace caught the ear of Tony Presedo, founder of TeePee Records. Their self-titled debut album was recorded by Don Ahlsterberg and released in early 2008. On the recording sessions' completion, Truls Mörck was replaced by guitarist Jonatan Ramm. The debut album received generally good reviews. Graveyard performed at the 2008's South by Southwest Music Festival.
Graveyard was featured on Rolling Stone Magazine's Fricke's Picks for their first ever US gig at SXSW.[4] After SXSW, Graveyard toured with label mates Witch. In the Fall of 2008 Graveyard toured with Witchcraft and then Clutch. In 2009 they toured with the rock band CKY. Graveyard released their second album in spring of 2011.

Fool in the End
Graveyard Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Couldn’t see a way back.
The pedal of the story
The pressure and the thrill.
What can you expect when it all began
What did you think your music was to bring?
The time I spent in waiting is a lifetime in itself.
‘cause so many fools now call you the friend,
I hope you know that you are one of them.
Why did you think that you can have it all for free?
Could you see me, I was actual fun,
Did you think I’ll ever be an easy run?
Can’t you see that you’re the fool in the end,
You’re the fool in the end.
It’s been right all my life,
You lend me something I chose.
I know that I once more really raised those blues.
Sometimes you should leave and you can let it be,
It’s been a lot on my life, it ain’t something I chose,
I got the restless blues, I got the restless blues.
Why did you think that you can have it all for free?
Could you see me, I was actual fun,
Did you think I’ll ever be an easy run?
Can’t you see that you’re the fool in the end,
You’re the fool in the end.
Why did you think that you can have it all for free?
Could you see me, I was actual fun,
Did you think I’ll ever be an easy run?
Can’t you see that you’re the fool in the end,
You’re the fool in the end.
You’re the fool in the end
The opening stanza of Graveyard's "Fool in the End" recounts a moment in the singer's life when they were seemingly lost and unable to see their way back. The line "the pedal of the story" creates a metaphor for the acceleration of one's life story and the thrill and pressure that comes along with it. It then asks the listener what they thought their music would bring, inquiring as to their motivations and intentions in pursuing music. The following stanza laments the time wasted in waiting and the inevitable sense of time being wasted when one is in a state of limbo. The chorus is a pointed attack on someone who believed they could have it all for free, despite the singer being aware of their true nature. The song comes to an end with the repeated line, "You're the fool in the end," emphasizing the message of the song.
