No cypress shades the grave   But gentle violets weep with dew   Weave on war-torn bones   Buried nameless in eternal sands      Chorus:      Sound no trumpet of mourn   Forget not the wandering soul   One with this brazen earth   With vilest of worms to dwell      No sunshine reverent   But stoic storm clouds soak scarlet ground   Wash the bloodstained face   Vanished nameless in eternal sands      Chorus      Listen closely   Dreadful and grand   The hush of the null and void   Slave to fate kings and desperate men      Await the splendor   Dreadful and grand   Lingering shadows undead   Slave to fate, kings and desperate men      Forget not wandering souls   With vilest of worms to dwell
