Brian Barrett - Words on the Grave Lyrics

In the morning mist the man stands alone
With clenching fists he stares at the dust covered ground
Surrounding him are graves of the people he has known
He looks up at the sky and helplessly cries

And then he saw a grave that awoke all his fears
Upon it was his name written in blood and tears

The words forever cast in stone, of a man unknown
Nothing left but dust and bone, the rock it stands all alone

In the mid day sun the man walks alone
He bows his head and stares at the dust covered ground
Surrounding him are memories of the life he has known
He looks down at the dust and cries without sound

And then he saw a grave that was buried in the dust
He didn't want to read it but he knew he must

The words forever cast in stone, of a man unknown
Nothing left but dust and bone, the rock it stands all alone

In the dark of the night the man lies alone
His face stares straight ahead covered with lines of age
Surrounding him are words on the grave he has known
In the dark he waits for the end and cries with rage

And then he saw a grave that was so absurd
It's the one he lay under, it was his final word

The words forever cast in stone, of a man unknown
Nothing left but dust and bone, the rock it stands all alone

The words forever cast in stone, of a man unknown
Nothing left but dust and bone, the rock it stands all alone
