The (ever so grim) Story of the (ever so) Dead Town by Alex Pezzetti

Part 1 Spiraling Down
A long time ago there was a town
A Town where the dead had resided
A town that was slowly sent spiraling hell bound
A hell to which the dead had confined
This is the story of that dirty old town
And how their whole world went spiraling down


Part 2 Dead
With the sun setting red
The town went to bed
But down in the valley
The dead slowly rally
They rise from their dusty old graves
And walk the path through their caves
Through the caves to the town
Because the dead want the town to go down
Their armor clicks and clatters on parade
Their faces cold and black like a masquerade
As the dead march near
The living start to fear
The church bells ring
But only death starts to sing
With blood stained armor
They attack this town of poor old farmers
The militia they fire
Only to see that their situation is now dire
So again they fire
Only to tire
The dead they march
Never getting parched
And now they reach that dirty old town
That dirty old town on that dusty old hill
Part 3 The Old Town
Clad in Black
They march back
Back to that dirty old town
The town where the cannons now pound
They pound the ranks of the dead
But they will never be stained red
As the living's guns start to sing
They hit the dead and only ping
With the sky so very red
The living start to look so very Dead

Part 4 Won
The sky so very bleak and black
This is the story of the ones that came back
Back to that dusty old town
The town that was hell bound
But these are the ones that said they were done
But over their shoulder was a gun
"They fought and fell for our great king.
Now they're back for another game.
But we will hold the line; now fire you dogs, fire."
Screamed the sergeant over his men
and into the bleak, black night
Now it is dawn
And most of his men are gone
But they won that dusty old town
Only to bring it back earth bound
The streets now littered with their very own dead
But they plan to honor them with their very own bed
A bed to sleep their sleep of eternal slumber
And leave that dusty old town
Now the one that wears the crown
Tells the story to the children of the town
To keep the story alive and well
So they never forget
What happened to that dusty old town
