The Remembrance Ballad

These days are closing in The end has become apparent We're only here for so long Will anyone remember my name When time has washed away the dust of our ashes When my head rests in a velvet lined casket What's out there? What is my eternal fate? And it only just recently hit me That this life is just a state Mortality fading, like the innocence of love I'm scared to death of what's to become Of my immortal soul of this eternal flame Will you remember? Will your heart sing with pain? Who calls out my name? And tell me what happens When my eyes close for the last time Does it all simply end in a blanket of darkness And what of my soul, what of my soul? All those things that you couldn't say You should've said All those I-love-you's lost Weighed more like lead on your chest All those things that you couldn't say You should've said All those I-love-you's lost Weighed more like lead on your chest, what of Of my immortal soul of this eternal flame Will you remember? Will your heart sing with pain? Who calls out my name? And tell me what happens When my eyes close for the last time Does it all simply end in a blanket of darkness And what of my soul, what of my soul? [Guitar solo] If I could take back all those misspent days Every second of anger, I would wash my sins away! Who calls out my name? And tell me what happens When my eyes close for the last time Does it all simply end in a blanket of darkness And what of my soul, what of my soul? [Repeat previous stanza]
