No Vacancies

And the cemetery is sculpted by freshly lain plots 		
Anticipating a frame to explain the gravely residents		
To offer considerable homage with venerate thoughts		
Of a journey long taken by soldiers and sycophants		

Anticipating a frame to explain the gravely residents		
An empty stone awaits the gracious terminal account 		
Of a journey long taken by soldiers and sycophants		
And those who survived differently but died tantamount	

An empty stone awaits the gracious terminal account		
About an immortal battle that persists a war of sabotage		
And those who survived differently but died tantamount	
For they are our freedom from this absurd civil barrage			

About an immortal battle that persists a war of sabotage		
Gratitude is given to the cowards and the brave alike		
For they are our freedom from this absurd civil barrage		
Now dignity doused in tribute forever bleeds ghostlike			

Gratitude is given to the cowards and the brave alike		
To offer considerable homage with venerate thoughts		
Now dignity doused in tribute forever bleeds ghostlike		
And the cemetery is sculpted by freshly lain plots
