In Memoriam -

Take a step, put one foot in the grave

Catch a breath, submerged in holy water

Watch a moving scene of former days

Shed a tear as memory starts to falter

Familiar faces try to hide the pain

Medicate to alleviate the pressure

Make amends with the ones I used to hate

Feel the agony give way to pleasure

Tearing down the walls of eternity

All in my loving memory

Final scene humility

I succumb to universal law

Another system’s energy disperses

Mother nature red in tooth and claw

It’s the game that everybody loses

Show your cards and accept what you’ve been dealt

Guardian or harbinger of sorrow?

Pour a drink, raise a glass and toast to health

Is the truth too hard for us to swallow?

Tearing down the walls of eternity

All in my loving memory

Master of creation

Lead us from temptation

Father of invention

Please guide my ascension

So much left unspoken

Life leaving heartbroken

A sense of acceptance

One final repentance

Read these words upon my stone

In piam memoriam

Tearing down the walls of eternity

(Read these words upon my stone)

All in my loving memory

(In piam memoriam)
