Dead Like All The Rest; Deep Down by Daniel DeLucie

Dead Like All the Rest

I'll be forsaken like long buried hordes

Fading to dust in their derelict graves

To burden the living, a bothersome corpse

A life that ended and couldn’t be saved

Dropped in the ground like some trash that was tossed

Discarded bones and a mummified brain

A desolate stone with an inscription half lost

Nothing special just more of the same

Not hero nor king and no eulogy spoke

No honor no flags and no family crest

Returning to dust, an ethereal smoke

Just dead like all the rest

Deep Down

The ink spills into the cavern, shadows drink the darkness

The cold oppressive clouds overhead drive down and stifle all

Into the deep void, dread paints the walls and the air skids down

Down into the vacuum, under the weight of the heavy smog

Deep deep down, flesh meets the dirt, breaks into vapor

Sucked under, unescaping, dark mist seeps into the soil

Absorbed and lost, assimilated with the filth and dust

Indistinguishable and deathless, gone now and tomorrow

Gone for all days, always down there and always gone
