The Burial

Wind instead of rain
Tears and yet no pain

And yet here we stand,
Children, mother, and father
Beside this sacred land
Where in your body shall rest
Yes, here we stand,
Beating on our breasts.

And as you shall rise on the last day the morn
Shall come again and rise victorious for
Us still here below once more
