Snoring in the Cemetery

Graveyard

This is the way you always walk home

Dark at night

Something could give you a fright

Not much of a sight

Alone on this path

You knew it wouldn't last

But you were given a warning

You knew it wouldn't be boring

Maybe it was you they were ignoring

Just be thankful it is not you they were gnawing

Not the place you want to stay and never be able to get away

Definitely didn't come here to play

Maybe everything is not as it seems

Perhaps this was only a dream

You knew things would be different in the morning

As long as you weren't the one they were goring

Hopefully that wasn't someone applauding

Might be time to run according

Plenty of things to be avoiding

Everything will be fine as long as the sound of silence remains plentiful

Doesn't change the fact they were all snoring in the cemetery
