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"
(Psalm 55: 4)

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
"Rest eternally... "
