Houses of the Dead

Time spent driving past the houses of the dead Where are those who came before Who live now only in my head For the Earth is now their bed Where's your music from the front porch on the Hill Where's your laughing faces Saying: Child have no fear For there is nothing but love in here Know your blood's as thick as Time So our song will never die And sing it loud and clear For those now lost but always dear Then send it on the wind To those now far ahead In the houses of the dead Many trips around this wicked star we've made And there's been many players On its ever turning stage In every sundered age But when your part is through Behind the curtain bid adieu Soon gone but now you're here So play your part without fear Then join them far ahead We know not where And leave houses of the dead
