When you're down and alone, all others left
Your heart ravaged through, your hopes bereft
Your energy low, your soul downtrod
Your body entombed beneath the sod

Left all alone, now he must die
Down among the dead men
Down among the dead men
Down, down, down, down
Down among the dead men let him lie

And life’s troubles do not end with breath
Your torments continue after death
Your mind is consumed in endless fright
Just like a land enrobed in blight

The heat of Hades now is nigh
Down among the dead men
Down among the dead men
Down, down, down, down
Down among the dead men let her lie

Your view is obscured in your demise
With two copper pennies on your eyes
The horrors before you you can't see
But you hear loud and clear your eulogy
You wail and mail and groan and cry

Down among the dead men
Down among the dead men
Down, down, down, down
Down among the dead men let him lie

Your time's running out in tocks and ticks
Til your one way trip across the river Styx
Your final judgment day has dawned
The sun rises now on the great beyond

The heat of Hades now is nigh
Down among the dead men
Down among the dead men
Down, down, down, down
Down among the dead men let them lie
