There used to be a grave
Standing here
Where now
And old forest grows
There used to be a voice
To stand up and shout:
"In the midst of life
We are in death!"

There used to be woods
Around here
Some ten thousand years ago
Now look at it
Just a grave standing on it

There used to be a world here
Now a cloud of dust
And a grave
Standing on one of the rocks
