Silent grave
Silent they all are,
Saying their prayers,
Bowing their head low,
A man is talking,
A child is crying,
Forever be missed,
The birds are listening,
Death is watching,
As the casket get buried,
The grave is quiet,
Flowers lay on top,
The men start lowing it down,
How a beautiful day,
Turn into sad moment,
Hours go by,
No one is joyful,
Their eyes are fulled with tears,
As their loved one forever in a peaceful sleep,
God has called them back home,
Where they feel no pain,
They will join the angels,
As they watch us live on,
Guilded us back home above the clouds,
Where we will too join the angels we loved.
