A Final Journey

Your flower-covered body
Lies cold amidst the gloom
Your lifeless pale body
The host in the mourning room

Can you not see the fear,
The terror in their eyes?
The pain within each tear
When still your body lies

Can you hear them remembering
The years of joys and hate?
The thought of their lives ending
Of how close is their fate

They'll follow your last journey
To know you won't return
A taste of bitter honey
As melting candles burn

Scared of life!
They mourn, they sigh
They laugh, they weep
They dream, you sleep

A wall, a cross
The fear, the loss
Beliefs they held
Their god, their hell

Your flower-covered body
Lies cold amidst the gloom
Your lifeless pale body
The host in the mourning room

They'll follow your last journey
To know you won't return
A taste of bitter honey
As melting candles burn

Scared of life!
They mourn, they sigh
They laugh, they weep
They dream, you sleep

A wall, a cross
The fear, the loss
Beliefs they held
Their god, their hell
