Lost Innocence

The Last Ceremony

Lost Innocence


Flowers as an enormous carpet 
Women cry and alternate sobs 
Sky sends rain and takes part in sorrow 
Pain takes shape while priest tells his last words 

Memories of the dead appear before my mind 
The breeze caresses faces 
wrapped up by silence 

Funeral, a long beginning hellward 
Funeral in a day with only night 
A passage to unconsciouness 
Funeral, to sleep an eternal sleep 

Silence covers the noise of the grief 
Take off heads, there will be no return 
Small and fast, life becomes again nothing 
Now a smart knocks at the conscience door 

Gravestone with writing near a coloured flower-bed 
Woodenhouse without windows will 
keep useless remains 

Funeral, a long beginning hellward 
Funeral in a day with only night 
A passage to unconsciouness 
Funeral, to sleep an eternal sleep
