I'm a bit morbid at times

The Dead Lay Buried Deep

The dead lay buried deep
The past now locked away

Some cry and mourn and weep
I would forget the day.

The dead were buried deep
My hopes with them were lain

The grave will always keep
It's memory of the slain.

Though they are buried deep
And can no longer rise

Their spirits soar and leap
Unbound by mortal ties.

Oh to lay buried deep
To share their fateful end

But I alone must weep
My true and faithful friend.

Soon I'll be buried deep
In my place beneath the grave

The price we pay is steep
To walk among the brave.
