About this song
A plant that feeds on graves. Flowers blooming where nothing should grow. The dead don't rest beneath The Necrobloom -- they become the garden.
Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse 1] Something lovely in the churchyard Growing where the coffins sleep Petals softer than a prayer Roots that thread through bones so deep Every grave becomes a garden Every headstone wears a crown Something feeds beneath the lilies Drinking sorrow from the ground [Chorus] I am the bloom on the burial hill The flower that opens where nothing should grow I drink from the dark and I blossom still A garden of everything death couldn't hold Lay down your dead and I'll make something beautiful Lay down your bones and I'll give them a name Every seed needs a grave to remember And darling I'm already growing again [Verse 2] Seven gardens, seven graveyards Seven names beneath the clay Touch the earth and watch me shiver Something wakes with every spade They buried fields to starve me Salted soil and sealed the tombs But I was patient, I was waiting And the dead make lovely rooms [Chorus] I am the bloom on the burial hill The flower that opens where nothing should grow I drink from the dark and I blossom still A garden of everything death couldn't hold Lay down your dead and I'll make something beautiful Lay down your bones and I'll give them a name Every seed needs a grave to remember And darling I'm already growing again [Bridge] You thought the garden was just flowers You thought the roots were only deep But look how gently my children are walking Stitched from the soil where your loved ones sleep [Outro] Hush now Everything blooms in the end
