Death Ground

And the cemetery was the final rest place for the souls 
                              That departed from Earth with unsolved matters
                           Leaving their tombs at midnight, wandering without 
                             A determined route in the valley of the forgotten

                       Sad histories had been told about the invisible inhabitants
                       Of the land where rest the hopes, dreams and illusions that
                    Died with the dreamer.  Unborn babies are watched by angels
                     Teens that perished in their youth years by temerary behavior

                  Ladies that took their own lives by romantic disillusions, young men 
                    Killed by illegal substances or guns traffic, family massacred by 
                    A disturbed relative, lovers that murder and committed suicide
                After an affair breakup, unknown for their partners until the fatal news

                      Reflex while in this existence if are living life in a manner when
                         Arrives the time to leave this world, no remorses or guilts
                         Are left behind, tormenting the soul as unfinished business
                                Good deeds and memories should be the legacy
