The Grave Digger

In the distance the sound of prayer  
Grieving families filled with despair  
Eulogies praise loved ones departed  
Tears rain down the broken hearted  
 
Back to work no time to break  
More holes to dig for the next wake  
Working with his hands of strength  
Digging down the appropriate depth  
 
He wipes the dirt and sweat away  
Preparing for the following day  
As he knows what's next in store  
Funerals planned from nights before  
 
Inside his heart there is a hole  
He digs to hide his missing soul  
His sons death left him scarred  
Peace he finds in this graveyard  
 
Familys and their pain he shares  
Even though they're unaware  
He's the reason for their curse  
This part of life he can't reverse  
 
Underneath the stars so bright  
Death consumes the empty night  
He hides within the shadows eyes  
Mask of God is his disguise  
 
Unknowing victims death they find  
Strangled by his powerful mind  
His hearts hole is getting bigger  
As love consumes the grave digger
