A solemn cortège carries my remains A drizzle bleak and profound Falling softly on my coffin Gloomy tears shed on graves Lay me to rest in dark tranquility Strip the garments of my soul Flesh and bones slowly perish Beneath a blanket of loose soil What dreams may come, when all is gone From whence you came, you shall return Shuffled off this mortal coil Coz' in the end we're nothing but Fading pictures Ornaments on tombstones Fading pictures Sadness in Sepia How vain the glories of earthly life The transient nature of all beings Through the maze of temptations I seek redemption from my sins I Reap the harvest that I've sown Sip from the wines that foam Forget me not or I'll forget myself Before I taste the fruit of Azrael
