The Remembrance Ballad
These days are closing in
The end has become apparent
We're only here for so long
Will anyone remember my name
When time has washed away
The dust of our ashes?
When my head rests
In a velvet lined casket?
What's out there?
What is my eternal fate?
It only just recently hit me
That this life is just a state
Mortality fading,
Like the innocence of love
I'm scared to death
Of what's to become
Of my immortal soul of this eternal flame
Will you remember?
Will your heart sing with pain?
Who calls out my name?
Who can tell me what happens
When my eyes close for the last time?
Does it all simply end
In a blanket of darkness
What of my soul?
What of my soul?
All those things you couldn't say
You should've said
All those I-love-you's lost
Weighed more like lead
On your chest
All those things you couldn't say
You should've said
All those I-love-you's lost
Weighed more like lead
On your chest
What of?
Of my immortal soul of this eternal flame
Will you remember?
Will your heart sing with pain?
Who calls out my name?
Who can tell me what happens
When my eyes close for the last time?
Does it all simply end
In a blanket of darkness
What of my soul? (What of my soul?)
If I could take back all those misspent days?
Every second of anger
I would wash my sins away
Who calls out my name?
Who can tell me what happens
When my eyes close for the last time?
Does it all simply end
In a blanket of darkness
What of my soul? (What of my soul?)
Who calls out my name?
Who can tell me what happens
When my eyes close for the last time?
Does it all simply end
In a blanket of darkness
What of my soul?
What of my soul?
