Arlington lyrics

Synonymous with greatness

A trove of valorous heroes

Beneath pure white stones

They lie eternal tranquility

Those who got orders to go

They who earned their place

All reside there forever, one

Lost to the daily shuffle living

Once chaos and destruction

Ruled their lives in each breath

Its senses provoked by calm

A dreamland hidden below

Now in neat little rows formed

And columns assembled so

As if to await reveille to stir

Then to regroup once more

But truth hides deep below

That in this well kept garden

Are relics decomposing e'er

Obscured by protocols earned

To many as if an adventure

N'er to realize its purpose yet

Seemingly a park adorned

Names, faceless and trite

The occasional caisson nears

And jettisons its charge so

To the often forgotten spot

Where oblivion draws all nigh
