Water to the Dead

Step politely over me 
  When I'm given to the ground 
  Keep hidden the memory 
  Of where they lay me down 
  Let the rain come over me 
  Wash away the years of filth 
  Swallowing my memory 
  Wash it down with bitter guilt 

  Chorus: 
  Giving water to the dead 
  Drink what I used to be 
  Now the cup's gone sour 
  Since you tasted me 
  Giving water to the dead 
  Drink what I used to be 
  Now the cup's gone sour 
  Since you tasted me 

  You've misplaced your tiny gods 
  Lost them to the ground 
  Let them suffocate with me 
  In the place they lay me down 
  Step politely over me 
  Watch the hollow in the ground 
  This space left blank for you 
  Next to where they lay me down 

  Chorus 

  Giving water to the dead 
  Drink what I used to be 
  Giving water to the dead 
  Drink what I used to be 
  Giving water to the dead, the dead, the dead
