Cemetary of the dead
Stone pillars so old
A graveyard of angels
And stories untold

Withered flowers
Willows that weep
Six feet under
The dead are asleep

A place of solitude
And restless souls
This city of angels
For whom the bell tolls

Time passes slowly
The seasons go by
As the sun goes down
The moon comes nigh

Scurring shadows
Whispering breeze
Celestial voices
And screaming trees

So many gravestones
So cold and so dark
Surrounded by death
The souls embark

On a heavenly journey
Through time and through space
A Psalm of Psalms
A feeling of grace

Under the moonlight
The angels dance
Leaving the dead
In a peaceful trance

The sun will rise
The day will begin
The graveyard of angels
Is quiet again

Better to die, and sleep
The never-waking sleep, than linger on
And dare to live when the souls life is gone.
