[Solo]
The knell of death has tolled it's bell
To take another life away from here... it's gone
That life is gone and
now you mourn the loss
Of yet another life, it's gone away, you cry
The funeral arrangements being planned by the family
The
ritual is set
A gathering of mourners dressed in black
Now forming a line to gaze upon the dressed-up corpse
Ahhhh....
The
ritual of death... end of another breath
Heaving out a sigh... why did he have to die
Your eyes empty themselves on the tearstained
coffin
This selfish rite of tears, crying not for the one who has died
Has gone, has passed away from here
Your tears are for
yourself and what you've lost
The pain that you feel, it hurts, you grieve in selfishness
The corpse lies motionless inside the
casket
With a painted face, and stuffed, mouth sewn, so morbid
So grieve your sorrow, wait in line, now it's your time
What will
you do? your heart it beats, you kiss the dressed up corpse
Ahhhh....
This ritual of death... morbid and grotesque
You can't
help but cry... why did she have to die
The coffin stained with tears... the mourning lasts for
years
[Solo]
Ahhhh...
I do not mourn the loss... I cling to no weak cross
Selfishness bereaved... the dead from life
relieved
There's no point to cry, for we all shall die
