Lyrics by Emily Marie Palmer, adapted from the poem "I Died For Beauty" by Emily Dickinson.

lyrics

I died for Beauty
Scarce adjusted in the tomb
When one who died for Truth was lain
Into the adjoining room

"And I, for Truth, they are the same;
Brothers you and I,".

So as kinsmen met at night
We talked beneath the sky
'Til the moss did reach our lips
And cover up our eyes
