|
Another wake, another time, a premature goodbye |
|
I've watched you go and I've seen you pass |
|
I always knew that it wouldn't last |
|
Together now we mourn the loss and remember all the fun |
|
We'll drink the beer and we'll hang out where death took another son |
|
So all for one and one for all, do we ever wonder why? |
|
Though the reason's clear |
|
This friend so dear was taken before his time |
|
So may this round be on the corpse of a dead man |
|
With a toast that tells of the love you never shared |
|
So as we dance on the grave of the misbehaved |
|
Raise your glass! Sing the praise of a fallen soul |
|
Now many bow their heads for this man they know so well |
|
With solemn thoughts they'll drink and drug for a resurrection |
|
(Facing death we fear no danger) |
|
While mothers shed their tears through a vail of desperation |
|
These fiends of a vicious breed raise holy hell |
|
So may this round be on the corpse of a dead man |
|
With a toast that tells of the love you never shared |
|
So as we dance on the grave of the misbehaved |
|
Raise your glass! Sing the praise of a fallen soul |
|
How many times can fate be changed |
|
The dice be rolled is there no path of least resistance for the bold |
|
(It's never sought and rarely taken) |
|
Shocked and dismayed how it stole his life |
|
When this grateful course of action takes it toll |
|
So may this round be on the corpse of a dead man |
|
With a toast that tells of the love you never shared |
|
So as we dance on the grave of the misbehaved |
|
Raise your glass! Sing the praise of a fallen soul |
|
So may this round be on the corpse of a dead man |
|
With a toast that tells of the love you never shared |
|
So as we dance on the grave of the misbehaved |
|
Raise your glass! Sing the praise of a fallen soul |
|
Now let's all gather round in our costume suit and tie |
|
Telling how this soul was A source of inspiration |
|
(Love him now, he lives no longer) |
|
But you never tell the tales of the times you turned your back |
|
On this friend who never found his grateful path |
|
So may this round be on the corpse of a dead man |
|
With a toast that tells of the love you never shared |
|
So as we dance on the grave of the misbehaved |
|
Raise your glass! And sing the praise of a fallen soul |
