The graveyard
The graveyard
All full of light
The only age
The beating heart
Is empty of life
Dirt and grass
A shadow heart
The moon sails past
Blood as ice is
And empty crises
Lonely lies
Whoa-ah-ah ah-oh-ah
Bring 'em on back to life
Whoa-ah-ah ah-oh-ah
Bring 'em on back to life
Whoa-ah-ah ah-oh-ah
Bring 'em on back to life
Whoa-ah-ah ah-oh-ah
Bring 'em on back to life
Roots and lies
Roots and lies
Our family tree is old
From there we climb
The golden hill
Calmly will
Eternity
I held your heart
A giant wand
All tell of sorrow
And history
Begins to be
Blue and brown eyes
Whoa-ah-ah ah-oh-ah
Bring 'em on back to life
Whoa-ah-ah ah-oh-ah
Bring 'em on back to life
Whoa-ah-ah ah-oh-ah
Bring 'em on back to life
Whoa-ah-ah ah-oh-ah
Bring 'em on back to life
Oh-ah-ah ah-oh-ah
Bring 'em on back to life
Oh-ah-ah ah-oh-ah
Bring 'em on back to life
Oh-ah-ah ah-oh-ah
Bring 'em on back to life
Oh-ah-ah ah-oh-ah
Bring 'em on back to life
About This Song
"Graveyard" is a haunting meditation on death, memory, and the desire to resurrect what has been lost, built around stark imagery of moonlit cemeteries and empty hearts. Feist explores themes of grief and the cyclical nature of life and death, with lyrics that juxtapose coldness ("blood as ice") against the yearning plea to "bring 'em all back to life" in the soaring, anthemic chorus. Musically, the song represents a departure toward heavier rock territory for Feist, featuring driving guitars and a more aggressive sound that matches the emotional weight of confronting mortality. The repetitive, almost ritualistic quality of the chorus creates a sense of desperate incantation, while references to "roots and lies" and "family tree" suggest how death and deception intertwine through generations. This track stands as one of Feist's most emotionally raw and sonically bold statements, showcasing her ability to channel profound loss into cathartic rock power.
