The lazy cat yawned and made a song of it's own Penetrating the murky silence of the sleeping home The grandfather clock, leaning solemnly against the wall Dreamed of better days, when it stood strong and tall Back when life moved to its swaying - Who would answer it's call ? Now the only thing constant, winter, spring, summer and fall Where had the children gone, that dashed down the steps ? Who was there to cry for them, in the wake of their deaths ? One by one they all became teeth in the tall grass Adding to death's chilling grin, consuming them at last Ask the other's, they'll tell you Death's face was in those flames So if you dare to tread the grass, don't dare to say their names
