Polished marble underfoot
Reflecting the torch and candlelight
Epithets of centuries old accomplishments
Laid out before a procession
A lineage of death masks held in by the teeth
That the wearers may be silent
And the dead may live again
Their likenesses animated once more
As yet another joins their ranks
