Farewell to the flesh So deathwhite, cold, and lifeless Before our grieving eyes displayed In time preserved, before the vessel decays
Masses clad in black As day gives way to darkness Her sorrow masked by onyx veil Beneath the shades of pale
Fragrances Carried by the winds of old Petrichor and putrescine, among uprooted soil
As the murder flies Mournful stand in waiting For the final rite Attending the funeral tonight
Requiem of death Beholders cite the epitaph Engraved in stone these solemn words: “Here rests his head upon the lap of the Earth”
In memoriam The terminus of breath succumbed Condolences and sympathies There’s nothing left to say
Fragrances Carried by the winds of old Petrichor and putrescine, among uprooted soil
Hearts in disarray Creeping descent, six feet under Melancholy strain Attending the funeral As the murder flies Mournful stand in waiting For the final rite Attending the funeral tonight Tonight
Earth to earth, ash to ash, dust to dust Our dying days to come Time and tide wait for no man For in that sleep of death Shuffled off this mortal coil The casket falls Once and for all
