Requiem
In a churchyard grey and overgrown
Where rooks perch upon the headstones
And cry in cracked and mocking tones for no one
The mourners clad in black and lace
File through this God forsaken place
To lay to rest their master's mortal husk
Dust to dust, last of his line
With all the ritual of his time
Walled within the vault for centuries
Beneath the dying sun
Still the rooks cry for no one
When the mourners file away
The black, plumed horse drawn hearse will stay
Until the undertakers have drunk their fill
Beneath the dying sun
Still the rooks cry for no one
In a churchyard grey and overgrown
Where rooks perch upon the headstones
And cry in cracked and mocking tones for no one
Where rooks perch upon the headstones
And cry in cracked and mocking tones for no one
The mourners clad in black and lace
File through this God forsaken place
To lay to rest their master's mortal husk
Dust to dust, last of his line
With all the ritual of his time
Walled within the vault for centuries
Beneath the dying sun
Still the rooks cry for no one
When the mourners file away
The black, plumed horse drawn hearse will stay
Until the undertakers have drunk their fill
Beneath the dying sun
Still the rooks cry for no one
In a churchyard grey and overgrown
Where rooks perch upon the headstones
And cry in cracked and mocking tones for no one
