Oh Lonely Grave Lyrics

Oh Death, has my time come?
You took my kind, left me behind, please take me home
I'm done with this old life please take me home
My lonely grave calls out to me
Heaven or Hell to call my own
I'm coming home

Who cheated Death cause death cheated me?
You stare into the face of God while man just stares at me
Lord strike me down!

This accident of surviving, you see me as a failure
I feel you looking down
Sing to my maker somewhere...
A bullet bears my name, come and take me now

For every shot that rang out not one was your sound
Not entitled to what you felt owed to you
Condemned to see another sun

Matriarch abandoned
Commend her spirit to your hallowed ground
The light of understanding
The silence when you're not around
Holy Father I pray
You wrap my brothers in your warm embrace
When my time comes I won't go quiet
Even in death I'm second place

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Cover art for Oh Lonely Grave lyrics by Maylene and the Sons of Disaster

To me it seems that the narrator is mourning the loss of their family (perhaps killed by an accident, or some other tragedy) but for some reason they survived.

Now the narrator is pleading with God to reunite them with their family in Heaven (or Hell).

However at the end let's God know that they won't let the grief defeat them, and won't go into death willingly ("When death comes I won't go quiet").
