DEATH LEADS HOME
Above the world is life and death.
That is where we go to take our rest
Above the world is Home, Home
Free to fly and roam
Lost is the world, and lost is life
An end to all the good we have shared
In our world happiness was rife
And many things we dared to do
Remember what was once
Sunny days that shone bright
And when we spent the night
What was, what was once
Now your eyes are forever closed
Hand in hand we wrote the tale
Hand in hand we sang
Dreaming of a far off dale
And creating another name
But this sleep is not a doze
What was once, what was once, what was once
Now what was once is gone
Silently sorrowing is life and death
A circle and a cross beat breath
Silently sorrowing is Home, Home
Free now to condone
The clouds cover all on this earth
The rain affects both none and all
Together we've been since our birth
But this rainbow will never come
Remember what was once
A world of laughter brightens the rain
And a struggle gives a gain
What was, what was once
Now your laugh is forever still
Hand in hand we gave our life
Hand in hand we lived
Hoping for an end of strife
And creating that which to give
You are gone, and so is my will
What was once, what was once, what was once
Now what was once is gone.
Following, flying, is life and death
A heart thumps time and time to fret
Following, flying, is Home, Home
Free to not live alone
Free to no exist any more
My life is gone into your stone
Ignoring truth, shutting out all lore
The facts are there, but all is done
Remember what was once
A moon below the stars
Dreams of travelling far
What was, what was once
Now two hearts are less than one
The roses' teardrops fall
With the rain of skies
Streams, rocks, fields, forests, all
Accompanying dew of my eyes
Life and time and death go on
What was once, what was once, what was once
Now what was once is gone.
