Grave Robber At Large!

Grave Robber At Large

There is something strange down by the cemetery
Emptying the graves left and right
Ghastly schemes and ghoulish undertakings
Underneath the pale moonlight

Curse the day they invented the crematory
What a foolish waste of potential sales
It’s a damn shame to discard inventory
Think outside the box if all else fails

Death is my business and business is good!

There’s a grave robber at large
Ripping bodies from hallowed ground
Desecrate those who rest in peace
There’s profit to be made from the recent deceased

Skeletal remains are safe in the ossuary
They’re quite stale and not worth a dime
Don’t think me a fiend, this is strictly monetary
Fortune calls and I’ll answer this time.

In this occupation timing is instrumental
A matter of hours can plummet the price
The fact it’s a crime is simply incidental
Freshness is key, nothing else will suffice

Death is my business and business is good!

There’s a grave robber at large
Ripping bodies from hallowed ground
Desecrate those who rest in peace
There’s profit to be made from the recent deceased

Midnight meetings inside the graveyard
Crunching numbers, breaking the earth
I’m not afraid to get my hands dirty
Even if things seem a bit perverse

Though these deeds weigh heavy on my soul
I will no doubt sleep perfectly sound
While you struggle to keep your conscience
A garden of riches rots in the ground

Death is my business and business is good!

There’s a grave robber at large
Ripping bodies from hallowed ground
Desecrate those who rest in peace
There’s profit to be made from the recent deceased

Death is my business and business is good!

    As soon as I heard the first line a huge smile spread across my face. It is amazing! I can’t stop listening! I love how Creature Feature just makes me think of Halloween no matter what time of the year it is. Amazing job Curtis, can’t wait to hear the new CD!

    This song is beautiful. One of my many dreams is to become a mortician, and this song is easy to relate to. It’s by far one of my all-time favourite songs. Keep the horrifics coming. :)

    You seem to have a vast knowledge of the macabre … for a human. Perhaps you are more then you seem.

    For a human you seem to have an uncanny knowledge of the macabre… Perhaps you are more than you seem.

    Listen to this song, then listen to “A Corpse In My Bed” then listen to “I Love The Dead” by Alice Cooper. Kind of tells a story….

    “I’m not afraid to get my hands dirty
    Even if things seem a bit perverse”
    Giggity.
