The Final Nail In The Coffin

A stately procession in my honor
Lumbering footsteps take me towards fate
I don’t understand what’s going on
My heart is sore with anguish

I find myself among familiar faces
An endless parade of weary façades
Why such deep sadness?
Why wallow in such despair?

Grim scowls fill my sight
Is this a dream?
How come I’m under this spell
As all I’ve done was lie down and rest?

I glimpse my name carved on a gravestone
That’s when realization strikes
I’m no longer part of the world of the living
The terrors of death have fallen upon me

As they seal my crypt
Forever earthly womb!
Everyone fades from sight
Now all I can do is to pray

But a light shines through, I see
I’m no longer alone
Solace comes through a friendly voice
Rest in Peace, it says
