What a wonderful time of year to go whistling through a graveyard
Accompanied by the wind and the frost that chills your bones
A murder of crows keep watch at the gate
A fresh layer of snow keeps keeps the path cold
Reading the names of the long since departed
Thoughts of the past that brought these souls here
Enjoying the gallery of headstones and crypts
and the memories of times never shared
The crunch of our boots in the snow
The crunch of the bones down below
The breath forming steam as it runs from this place
The cold wind-whipped pain on your fresh living face
What a wonderful time of year to go walking through a graveyard
Whistling tunes for the dead and freshly buried
A soldiers line of black birds intent on your intrusion
Your pulse keeping time for the song that you have carried
