Necropolis

In Memoriam 04:01
To the stony heart of winter To the deep descent to the tomb I leave to you my solitude and song To the fortitude of marriage To the war that drove me on I bequeath you the solace of the sun (Son) In Memory A white veil of light shall wash over me To the winds that swept me westward To the sands that ran through my hand And the waters I have drained from the land There were times when I felt pity Many hours I have scorned Yet there’s nothing to regret anymore In Memory A white veil of light shall wash over me In Memory The Earth open wide, that it should receive This hapless soul departing the world this night …nothing more will I regret now But the breaking of the dawn

Set a stone in the ground If you want to lay down by me Live a thousand lifetimes with me…you will Set a stone in the ground Raise a burial mound If you want to lay down by me Live a thousand lifetimes with me…you will Raise a burial mound And for time, immemorial We cast aside these lives, mortal Set a torch to the pyre If you want to burn here with me Burn a thousand lifetimes away Burn the stench of life and decay…you will Set a torch to the pyre
