Untended Grave lyrics

There, beneath the earth we lie

In the corruption of mortality

Like rubbish cast off from society

To lie, and decay in time's ridicule

An attempt to cheat the deletion

From the pages of modern history

Leaving relics precious behind

To stay the fate of ambiguity

A fiduciary travesty cheating

Poured in to seal the money pit

A crypt filled with useless cause

None can halt the inevidable

The glorious shrines erected

They will fall prey in short order

The elements of progress mixing

With the opportunities of gain

The common man lies nameless

The earth takes back its claim

Those known now decedent

A memory wiped from the slate

What good is there in preserving

The temporal bound to decay

That in the end deprives the living

Loitering in an untended grave
