No Glamour In The Afterlife lyrics

There is no glamour in the afterlife

Proving you can't take it with you

For they will come and take it back

Unceremoniously all carried away

Once standing cluttered in darkness

Beneath the burning desert bleak

Betting on a life eternal in royalty

Condemned to glass confines alit

The sentence carried out for folly

Reckless pride and fearful hope

The depth of oblivion interrupted

By the spade of an archeologist

Only the indigent lie in peace

For none draw claim to riches

Hope lost to life's darkness

Riches vanish in a heartbeat

What men have forgotten in time

Time keeps its claim to crumble

In the end decay comes to all

There is no glamour in the afterlife
