Pile the bodies high at Austerlitz and Waterloo.
Shovel them under and let me work—
I am the gra**; I cover all.
And pile them high at Gettysburg
And pile them high at Ypres and Verdun.
Shovel them under and let me work.
Two years, ten years, and pa**engers ask the conductor:
What place is this?
Where are we now?
I am the gra**.
Let me work.
