Late in the night, this solemn man he goes to work
Content with his job, placing people into the earth
Heaven or hell? I said that's one thing he can't decide
One thing's for sure, the dead will keep his business alive

Meet the gravedigger, the one who smells like rotting flesh now
He's the gravedigger, he's here to bid you an earthly farewell
This is farewell - This is farewell

No sleep tonight, this old man just ended his health
Tomorrow's the day the gravedigger will bury himself
Who'll fill the holes, now that the old man is gone?
One thing's for sure, the dead will keep coming on and on and on

Meet the gravedigger, the one who smells like rotting flesh now
He's the gravedigger, he's here to bid you an earthly farewell
Into the pit - Yeah, into the pit

Meet the gravedigger, his icy touch will give you the fuckin creeps
He's the gravedigger, his icy touch will give you the endless sleep
