pile of bones

A pile of bones Sweet agony with no soul Cannot be heard over distant whispers Above the earth A mother in black Flowers needing changing Gray cold name remains In the distance a sister wailing Ounce of oxygen Reigned his body away with the wind Given to another All his skin eaten by worms Nothing left there A pile of bones Collected his taxes When death thieved his soul Once a man Looks down on us all Earth covers him An eternal blanket forms Once a man Just a pile of bones Ounce of oxygen Reigned his body away with the wind Given to another All his skin eaten by worms Nothing left there A pile of bones Soil embraces what's left Clinging onto his last breath Flowers aching from the bloom Stopped by remains of the afternoon Six feet under, no one to hear his calls Loneliness his only company Nothing to be done, the bell stopped it's tolls Once a man now a pile of bones Ounce of oxygen Reigned his body away with the wind Given to another All his skin eaten by worms Nothing left there Ounce of oxygen Reigned his body away with the wind Given to another All his skin eaten by worms Nothing left there A pile of bones
