Destroyed Remains

One darkened night, your life it slips away
Onto cold storage to avoid decay

Into the vast unknown
Prepare the flesh and bone
For a fire or a grave
Destroyed remains

Ash, dust, your body will combust
Tomb, fire, dissolved in liquefier
Burn, rot, corpse an afterthought
Earthbound, a blackened underground

A pleasant tale for those who know you well
Identify you and bid a fond farewell

Into the vast unknown
Prepare the flesh and bone
For a fire or a grave
Destroyed remains

Ash, dust, your body will combust
Tomb, fire, dissolved in liquefier
Burn, rot, corpse an afterthought
Earthbound, a blackened underground
