Unmarked Grave
I was a soldier in a far off land,
The arrow deep in my side,
I would return one day my love,
To the heaven's we would ride.
My body rots while she is weeping,
I remain forever sleeping,
Resting my bones from the daily chores,
Rest my bones forever more.
My body lies in an unmarked grave,
My heart remains with the one I love,
She's awaiting my return,
Although I know that will never come.
As I decay neath my blanket of earth
My heart is yet to be satisfied,
A seedling grows on my burial ground,
Just to wither and die.
