Simone Simons official unveils Cradle to the Grave ft. Alissa White-Gluz from her album ‘Vermillion’, out now!

“Cradle to the Grave” is about the universal experience of navigating life’s ups and downs and the quest for meaning and purpose. It views the human condition as one of struggle and resilience, where despite efforts to build and achieve, there’s an underlying acceptance that life is brief, finite, and often cruel.

LYRICS
Cradle to the Grave

Born brave, then enslaved
we search for meaning, we cave
So cold, the tale unfolds
building our castles, just to watch them fall

and this is your life
We are born to dance in chains
to a symphony of pain
from cradle to the grave
Life’s a bitch, then you die
through the corridors of time
we struggle and we strive
from cradle to the grave
March in time in a line on the edge of this knife

Dark road, pay the toll
No star to guide us, we walk alone
Last stand, hand in hand
Follow the sorrow to a fate unknown

and this is your life
As life’s pages slowly turn
We live but never learn
From cradle to the grave
Life’s a bitch, then you die
Promised dreams, all destroyed
We walk into the void
From cradle to the grave
March in time in a line on the edge of this knife

From cradle to the grave
We are born to dance in chains
From cradle to the grave
Life’s a bitch, then you die
From cradle to the grave
to a symphony of pain
From cradle to the grave
March in time in a line on the edge of this knife
