Verse 1:
The graves dug deep in the ground
But the memories still linger round
The ugly cemetery, where the dead be
Man don’t know what man don’t see
Chorus:
The ugly cemetery, man don’t know what man don’t see
It’s a reminder of our mortality
The headstones stand tall, but the beauty’s not there
It’s the ugly cemetery, where the souls lay bare
Verse 2:
The wind whispers secrets in the night
But it’s the silence that feels so right
The ugly cemetery, where flowers wilt and die
Man don’t know what makes him cry
Chorus:
The ugly cemetery, man don’t know what man don’t see
It’s a reminder of our mortality
The headstones stand tall, but the beauty’s not there
It’s the ugly cemetery, where the souls lay bare
Bridge:
We visit and we mourn, but we don’t stay long
The memories, they are too strong
The ugly cemetery, it’s where we tell our lies
Too late to mend those broken ties
Chorus:
The ugly cemetery, man don’t know what man don’t see
It’s a reminder of our mortality
The headstones stand tall, but the beauty’s not there
It’s the ugly cemetery, where the souls lay bare
Outro:
The ugly cemetery is where we must go
None can stop the endless flow
Man don’t know what man don’t see
Dying is our destiny.
