| [00:32.244] |
Take a step, put one foot in the grave, |
| [00:36.440] |
catch a breath submerged in holy water. |
| [00:40.373] |
Watch a moving scene of former days |
| [00:44.367] |
and shed a tear as memory starts to falter. |
| [00:47.479] |
|
| [00:48.345] |
And familiar faces try to hide the pain, |
| [00:52.555] |
medicate to alleviate the pressure. |
| [00:56.513] |
Make amends with the ones I used to hate, |
| [01:00.286] |
feel the agony give way to pleasure. |
| [01:03.186] |
|
| [01:04.203] |
Tearing down the walls of eternity, |
| [01:12.288] |
all in my loving memory. |
| [01:19.436] |
Final scene humility! |
| [01:35.798] |
|
| [01:36.124] |
I succumb to universal law, |
| [01:39.907] |
another system's energy disperses. |
| [01:43.828] |
Mother Nature red in tooth and claw, |
| [01:48.350] |
it's the game that everybody loses. |
| [01:51.215] |
|
| [01:52.078] |
Show your cards and accept what you've been dealt, |
| [01:56.050] |
guardian or harbringer of sorrow? |
| [02:00.300] |
Pour a drink and raise a glass and toast to health, |
| [02:04.299] |
is the truth too hard for us to swallow? |
| [02:06.899] |
|
| [02:08.034] |
Tearing down the walls of eternity, |
| [02:16.099] |
all in my loving memory. |
| [02:23.643] |
|
| [02:47.711] |
Master of creation lead us from temptation, |
| [02:51.647] |
father of invention please guide my ascension. |
| [02:55.621] |
So much left unspoken, life leaving heartbroken, |
| [02:59.633] |
a sense of acceptance, one final repentance. |
| [03:03.484] |
|
| [03:35.404] |
Read these words upon my stone: |
| [03:43.325] |
"In piam memoriam." |
| [03:51.418] |
Tearing down the walls of eternity, |
| [03:59.421] |
all in my loving memory. |
| [04:07.805] |
