(There will be nothing to do) In The Tomb

from The Skull Mailbox and Other Horrors by Bob Drake

/

lyrics

There will be nothing to do in the tomb
except break down to dust in the gloom
to a crumbling box of bones, and maybe some disembodied moans
in the tomb.

You'll never be along in the tomb
ther'll be rats and bat, bacteria and worms
they'll make sure there's nothing left, but no need to feel bereft
in the tomb.

If there's a "neighbor" interred in a nearby niche
better hope it's not a vampire or a witch.
You might end up undead, or become a phantom head
in the tomb.

Now some folks rot away in grand mausoleums
in the fancy cemeteries you can see 'em.
But most of us must be content
with some trifling monument
in the tomb.
