Dig Her Up 02:59
I felt the urge in the pale moonlight I couldn't sleep that lonely night No living girl would ever satisfy Like the dead that I desire It's time to dig her up 'cause I can't give her up Out in the grave I tried to find The little sex that marks the spot Her touch is cold yet the love is golden You're the one I still desire It's time to dig her up 'cause I can't give her up Forever since the day she passed I could never find my way But my love ain't far, not far at all I'm headed for the grave So I'll share a kiss with my morbid bliss Then I'll finally find my way But my love ain't far, not far at all I'm headed for the grave
2.
Sing Alone 03:29
Born through the light when I was young Whether or not I would succumb I guess early on my soul was spun Through eerie things unknown And I remember the nights when they would come Yeah, the shadows would sing through slithering tongues Saying, child there is no need to run Don't wind up on your own They will follow me down to the grave They will follow me down to the grave As they sang in the night I will sing another day They will follow me down to the grave The Devil's gonna catch me hiding under that stone Way down in a hole on my way home And to echoes delight I might join in song But I'd rather sing alone They will follow me down to the grave They will follow me down to the grave As they sang in the night I will sing another day They will follow me down to the grave I was born through the light when I was young Now I sing a verse through a withering lung And way back to the night that song was sung Hell, I'd rather sing alone But I'll never sing alone
3.
There are men though few are righteous All of us could find the light but We have gone so rotten in our skin Out of luck for the dark has hexed us Raising hell in the heart of Texas There's a crooked smile in my grin I mean no wrong and I mean no right But I'm dwelling in the night my friend We ain't no good We ain't no bad But sure ain't no good We are the grim Every man has a story And every preacher has a hymn But I don't sing for the glory I just want your screams And to haunt your dreams Just want your screams We ain't no good We ain't no bad But sure ain't no good We are the grim Ghastly things fall in my likeness Horror, death and screams are priceless We have gone so rotten in our skin Out of luck for the dark has hexed us Raising hell in the heart of Texas There's a crooked smile in my grin I mean no wrong and I mean no right But I'm dwelling in the night my friend

Brew-jeria 03:36
Can't break this temptation Nevermore like once in my sober past I was mistaken her intentions As she passed me the glass One after the other I fell deep into her trance She vanished from the bar upon my thirteenth empty glass Drinking up the curse (Brew-jeria) memories start to burn Drinking up the curse (Swallow it down) my world it starts to turn One after the other I fell deep into her trance She vanished from the bar upon my thirteenth empty glass Oh, I been so lonesome Oh, my liquid friend Oh, damn my addiction Then everything starts fading away Can't remember past yesterday And never again will I be a sober man 'cause the voice in my head Is whispering for me to drink until I die My liver is rotting away Unto me she beholds her brew Her brew-jeria One after the other I fell deep into her trance She vanished from the bar upon my thirteenth empty glass
5.
I feel a trembling Underneath my skin Last night I dreamt I had a thirst for blood Tore through the flesh of men Blood and saliva Were dripping from my fangs And when I awoke I realized my crimes What have I become Well I pray they win for all the best They've heard my call from east to west I'll feel this hunger rage again As this ancient curse it howls They speak of what they've witnessed That a devil is in their land A prowler is in the darkness And I'm a wanted man I've terrorized the village The blood is on my hands I've devoured men and women I was captive in their bounty but the wolf inside was bound Then I took a load of buckshot, no they couldn't bring me down But when the silver strikes my veins will I be free again Will this jackal spirit flee outside of me When the silver strikes my veins will I be free again Will this jackal spirit flee outside of me
6.
In the woods do they gather And to whom do they roam Have you danced with the Devil Hell, well I should've known To the gallows I can see it in her eyes To the gallows And the blood will never run dry In the name of God I condemn you to hell In the depths of the water Will she sink, will she float Is there blood on the dagger Hell, well I should've known To the gallows Where the souls forever cry To the gallows And the blood will never run dry In the name of God I condemn you to hell Now we gather here today Your sentence leads to death So take your last breath and repent Or save your words for the fire And now we gather here today Your deeds are soon to test So take your last breath and repent Or save your words for the fire There's a place I haunt And I'll call out for you Everything I lost Shall burn down with you Every day and night we stalk the streets of Salem and all The places we were martyrized while you were in the wrong And I may bleed and die but your ropes and fire will damn you all the same Remember all the victims lost while you were playing God When the night is cold then you will know The blood has not ran dry You'll hear our cry deep in the night From the gallows where we died

Ghost Town 03:46
At the moment I passed I arrived in the land Where shadows black the horizon No sign of light in my path Now alone and abandoned By all the ones that I've known Will I be damned here forever As my name in the stone Now as I curse aloud to the blackened clouds An echo grows through the town I've cried for help, gotta leave this hell No one's left around Now I've arrived In the ghost town Now I wander far, I wander wide No longer hope to be found No paradise, no land of fire I'm nowhere bound Now I've arrived In the ghost town
8.
I lay staring at the ceiling As the walls start to spin I don't remember when it began But I know that it won't end 'cause there's the sun on the horizon What a day to drink again Oh, not a day to have an empty glass Forgive me Lord, I'm a drunkard Been so damn long since I've been sober Hear my words despite the slurring in my prayer Forgive me Lord, I'm drowning under How this life is bittersweet After a whiskey straight and a pint of ale But I've got the feeling I'll soon be needing some water Lord make it wine, I'm a drunkard I'll drink myself to the bottom What a task of wretchedness And I've lost count of all the bottles Not a day to have an empty glass Forgive me Lord, I'm a drunkard Been so damn long since I've been sober Hear my words despite the slurring in my prayer Forgive me Lord, I'm drowning under
9.
Burning Down 03:04
Tonight I took a look around And I could see tomorrow And I've been told where we are bound But I won't settle down Come on and have another round A thick smoke fills the air now We're all burning down beneath the ground Lord be with me and my brothers In this dark time like no other There's just one place I once called my own And it's burning down Yeah, it's burning down With that Devil down I am lost but I have found The bitter taste of sorrow Although I know where we are bound I can't lay that bottle down (I can't lay that bottle down) Bourbon whiskey all around Toast your feet upon the fire now We're all burning down beneath the ground Church bells are ringing But our heads still hang low So tonight we'll burn it on down Back to the bar room I told the boys then Where we let it all go So tonight we'll burn it on down While church bells are ringing Our heads still hang low So tonight we'll burn it on down
10.
I woke upon the terror of apocalyptic dreams Where the saints of which you prayed were tumbling down All failed below cathedrals where they couldn't seem to free Bearing holy loads of wine they tumbled down I'd like to feel the fire cleanse me to the bone I'd like to see empire fall before the throne

about

Lend an ear and be hexed by the rhythmic fulfilling darkness of The Grim Folks as they introduce their first full-length album. There are songs of morbid love, death, lycanthropy, a witch barmaid and good old alcoholic gluttony.
