His Mighty Earthen Throne

Nolan Dennehy '21

It’s where the lonely soldier waits

In a trench of dirt and bone

Burrowed deep within his skull

Dreaming deep of hearth and home

And his mighty earthen throne

And his mighty earthen throne

It’s how the widowed waitress sings

As she walks to hearth and home

Under blinding neon lights

Stuck with thoughts of dirt and bone

And his mighty earthen throne

And his mighty earthen throne
