Maybe you know
These people asleep
Suspended in time
Lying beneath.
Go seek the story
A life once known
Now twelve words chisled in stone
A grandfather sworn to family life
A heart unbroken, back with his wife
A boy, 16, called early to his grave
Inspired a nation he was so brave
Chorus:
The hill of graves
The masses in keep
The tales each told
The bright and the bleak
The hill of graves
The masses in keep
Wise words we learn
To just hear them speak
What have we learned
From those underneath
In this hill of hurt
That runs so deep
A father and son hold salt water's kiss
A mother of five, who never saw six
No know no clue of a golden gate fall
A young man's life may look so small
Chorus:
The hill of graves
The masses in keep
The tales each told
The bright and the bleak
The hill of graves
The masses in keep
Wise words we learn
To just hear them speak
Look to the stars, feel warmth in your heart
Watching us now, are those who have part
Those left standing, some love some hate
Some left to ponder, while others just wait
She calls each day
She longs for a kiss
She's buried with guilt
Her ignorance, bliss
Wise with death
A life will have changed
They now reside in the hill of graves
Chorus:
The hill of graves
The masses in keep
The tales each told
The bright and the bleak
The hill of graves
The masses in keep
Wise words we learn
To just hear them speak
