When he died His body was placed in a golden tomb There wasn't much room For any mistakes When she died Her body was placed in a pewter box Shut with locks To keep the demons in When he passed away His family sobbed and cried But their tears were already dried On his legacy When she passed away Her family left and shed not a tear To them, she was a mere ***** girl, dead. When he keeled over His family remembered By having him commemorated Then promptly forgot When she keeled over Her mother slept around She didn't mourn the sound Of her crying babe She died in childbirth He died of loss Buried together, under the altar No one comes and visits them Except their daughter

The Tomb
When he died His body was placed in a golden tomb There wasn't much room For any mistakes When she died Her body was placed in a pewter box Shut with locks To keep the demons in When he passed away His family sobbed and cried But their tears were already dried On his legacy When she passed away Her family left and shed not a tear To them, she was a mere ***** girl, dead. When he keeled over His family remembered By having him commemorated Then promptly forgot When she keeled over Her mother slept around She didn't mourn the sound Of her crying babe She died in childbirth He died of loss Buried together, under the altar No one comes and visits them Except their daughter
