She stood over the mound
That came up from the ground
She knew now what it meant
The pain, the dents
The hate the world showed them
Only strengthened them
As she let tears fall
She kept up the wall
Letting no one see
The tears that were finally set free
The song played
The day began to fade
And as she listened
As her tears glistened
The moon shone above
And down came a dove
She then turned
And the trees burned
For he was gone
But his soul went on
The distant howl
He was still on the prowl
He guided her
She could feel his fur
She knew he was still there
She knew he was still aware
And with her, he would forever accompany
They, in death and life, were Bad Company
