Verse 1
Denatan!
We gravediggers show up when nothing's working for you
When you stop moving what your mama gave you
That's the cold blood
That's our cemetery guild
Verse 2
We gravediggers know how to bury human bodies
We know how to lower it so the coffin doesn't wobble
That's the cold blood
That's our cemetery guild
Chorus 1
We've got what nobody else has
It's a black, modified ride
None of you has a limo like this
And nobody wants this ride to carry you
Bridge
Buried here in solid ash wood
We value that natural shape
There's nothing better than a wooden coffin
Whoever's seen and tried it, knows
Verse 3
We gravediggers show up when nothing's working for you
When you stop moving what your mama gave you
That's the cold blood
That's our cemetery guild
Verse 4
We gravediggers know how to bury human bodies
We know how to lower it so the coffin doesn't wobble
That's the cold blood
That's our cemetery guild
Outro
Denatan for you, for the family

grabarze — gravediggers

Grabarze means "gravediggers", the people whose job is to dig and prepare graves in a cemetery.

In the song, the narrator proudly calls themselves "my grabarze" (we gravediggers), turning a dark, morbid profession into a playful, almost heroic identity. It’s a striking, unusual word that creates a vivid atmosphere around death, funerals, and the “cemetery guild” they sing about.

This playful song dives into the darkly comic world of gravediggers who are strangely proud of their work. The narrator speaks as part of a team that appears when “nothing works anymore” and your body has stopped doing what “mama gave you in your genes.” With cool detachment and “cold blood,” they describe their profession as a serious craft, almost like a secret guild, where they know exactly how to bury bodies, lower coffins smoothly, and treat death with a kind of professional elegance.

At the same time, the lyrics are full of humor and irony. The gravediggers brag about their special black, modified car and joke that no one really wants a ride in this “limousine,” because it only takes people one way. They praise the classic wooden coffin and the “natural shape” of the body, turning a usually sad topic into something strangely stylish and confident. Overall, the song plays with the idea of death in a light, tongue in cheek way, mixing morbid imagery with swagger, pride, and a bit of dark fun.
