Funeral Psalms
from Funeral Psalms by PM Buys
lyrics
I found you on the winter solstice day
So cold was your gaze
My lanterns flame froze in place
I knew, my dear
You’d swoon me down into my grave
My dear, you are no good but I’m entrapped
Just one more tongue-lash
And I’ll be writing up an epitaph
To be displayed
When you swoon me down into my grave
When you strap me to that chair I’ll be calm
And I will get along
Singing out funeral psalms
Till you flip that switch
And swoon me down into my grave.
So cold was your gaze
My lanterns flame froze in place
I knew, my dear
You’d swoon me down into my grave
My dear, you are no good but I’m entrapped
Just one more tongue-lash
And I’ll be writing up an epitaph
To be displayed
When you swoon me down into my grave
When you strap me to that chair I’ll be calm
And I will get along
Singing out funeral psalms
Till you flip that switch
And swoon me down into my grave.

Those elements, twisted with thorough classical guitar training and intense lyricism, combine for a sound entire his own. ... more
