Hail the workers digging graves Black soot marching into the night Lantern and spade Caring for the dead as none would Hail the guardians of the pyres Burning through till dawn How can it be so clear We are not reclaimed We must rot or burn At the hands of our own No angels gather Only shadows lengthen We must rot or burn At the hands of our own All hail the dead that have passed Devoid of salvation and judgement
