Written especially to be performed at this year's 'Nunhead & District Museum and Art Gallery', 'They fell asleep' by 'The Nunhead Cemeteries' (featuring one Neil Transpontine) is a song made up of lines from gravestones in Nunhead Cemetery:
The darling, the tender
Devoted and treasured
Who fell asleep
Who fell asleep
Beloved, departed
The deeply regretted
Who fell asleep
Who fell asleep
The fair and faithful and the bright
Alive at noon but dead at night
Who fell asleep
Who rest in peace
The angel, the mourned
Whose time was too short
Who fell asleep
Who fell asleep
True friend, only son
Life’s race well run
Who fell asleep
Who fell asleep
Left behind the sorrowing
Death divides, memory clings
They fell asleep
Their end was peace
Loved and Lovers
Daughters and Mothers
Together blessed
In peaceful rest
Who fell asleep
Who fell fell asleep
