Destined to our grave, the great unknown

For there lays our fearful mystery

Full of shadows on her tomb

I despair at the thought of these small deaths

Our ties were severed once more

To break this bleeding heart

Among this canopy of dust

Only death broke us apart

His shadow will never see

The light of life to come

Where pure of heart exist

Those bound to their god

Angels whisper to the loved

Weep not, our tears are all

Enshrined in all your suffering

They will cease to flow

Destined to our grave, the great unknown

Where flowers wither and die

My spirit had loved you once

And now is faded doom

A fragrance yet undying

Eternal in its bloom

We are cursed to decay

And leave our mark in earth

Such a resting place for souls

Who shelter immortal birth

Linger no more among thy grave

But lift an eye to Heaven

Hues of faith will break the sky

Cast upon the Golden Shore

Among thy loved ancestral plane

And gathered home to God
