Ancient Tombs

I say a prayer at a loved ones tomb I leave a flower, for in my heart they bloom To me they'll always be a treasure Never to be forgotten, ever But there is a tomb where treasures abound A place where pyramids are found King Tut's tomb, where treasures did bloom Treasures that the departed did not assume The patriarchs of the bible are laid to rest In the city of Hebron in Palestine Abraham, Isaac, Jacob were blessed Their tomb is now a holy shrine It is known as the Cave of Machpelah There is a tomb where old bones lie Unsung in life, but now at rest The treasure here is hard to deny They gave it all, the ultimate measure They'll always be a national treasure The Tomb of the unknown soldier
