soft moonlight falls on the cemerery clay
pale flowers wilt on the stone
perfumes the night as lonely spirits pass
on these uncertain paths of the dead
black hallowed soil, the womb of our birth
dust to which all love returns
I taste the sweet soil I've toiled to break,
my flesh a sad feast for the worms

when darkness falls
that this light
never was?
eons pass
sleep take my hand
black depths of time
this unkno wn land

listen to the whisper of the winds
a sad tale told unnumbered times

pale ghostly flowers
a faint spectral gleam
a fragrence of sweetest decay
perfume the night as I wander along
these uncertain paths like a wraith

sounds of weeping carry on the breeze
under a funeral sky
we commit thy seed

night creatures howl and mourn
I lay beside thee in the thorns
