And this is the place
That you once knew
Where fell soft and quiet
The autumn leaves
And winter snows
To blanket the earth's bare form
And this is the place
That you would hide away
That you would fade away
And this is the place
That the body falls
And each limb and branch
Is buried deep
And small memories form
Each an ebbing russet drop
And this is the place
That the body slow decays
And each red stain fades to gray
And this is the place that you'll ever remain
Where no eye penetrates and no whisper invades
And here in your bed of silence and dirt
I stand over you
Wrapped in infinite spite and hatred
I stand over you
I will go
Into the frigid white
I'll go
Into the night
