Thanks
M.Graveyard Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

thank you for the light
thank you for the night
thank you for everything that we know to be right
and thank you for the foolishness in our enemies
oh, can’t you see?
we are thankful!
thank you for the water
and for our dutiful daughters
who choose to live as they’ve been told, who never ever falter
and thank you for the blessing of the divine word
oh, have you heard?
we are thankful
thank you for the cold
thank you for the snow
thank you for the skyline, and the theatres lined with gold
and thank you for listening to all of our pleas
so it shall be
we are thankful!

thanks for all the names
and for not playing games
with your reverence for that presence, but please let me explain
don’t try to look for something that you can’t find within
‘cause you won’t win
so be thankful
thanks for the church
thanks for the good works
but please remove that name from everything that lurks
in the shadows beyond your intellect, what can’t be known
shouldn’t be known
so be thankful
thanks for weekly respect
and for the concept
of that spectre, far greater than you, so please don’t get upset
when you find out that your requests were all in vain




and that brings pain
so be thankful
