|
Mourners have gathered |
|
For their last farewell |
|
Amidst the grey stones |
|
In the garden of the dead |
|
The rain is falling still |
|
The church bell tolls its knell |
|
All cloaked in black with tears in eyes |
|
The mourning ones have met |
|
A man in black and violet |
|
Latin scriptures, earth to earth |
|
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust |
|
And heavenly rebirth |
|
Flowers grace the coffin black |
|
Where the cold dead body lies |
|
That slowly now is lowered |
|
Into the cold earth |
|
Funeral... |
|
Now all is silent |
|
And you are all alone |
|
The rain is falling still |
|
But no one mourns here anymore |
|
A cross is placed above your head |
|
The coffin is now your home |
|
There is nothing left to do but |
|
Pray that god will open his door |
|
(Solo: Into the darkness of the grave) |
|
Now you realize that all |
|
The mourners met for was... |
|
Your funeral... |
|
Your own funeral... |
