She digs the graves

The story of an old woman and her money, it was loosely inspired by Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin.

She digs the graves

The big and the small

For the money she saves

With no thought at all

 

She’s lived here for ages

They say it’s all true

A book with no pages

Cheeks a rosy red hue

She knows not where to go

Or what words to say

Not needing a guide

Always knowing the way

 

 

She digs the graves

For me and for you

For all the people she enslaves

She has no clue

 

She slowly leaves

Her blood and her tears

Her lonesome heart bereaves

For all these years

 

She lost her love

And herself along the way

To join him above

She must give it all away

 

 

She digs the graves

For rich and for poor

With all the blood she craves

She must have more

 

She cares for neither friend nor foe

She has chosen her vice

Her death shall be slow

Neither pleasant nor nice

 

She musn’t say

Where the money lies

It’s her time to go

In her graves she dies
