Requiem

Is it our fate to die
In this world we live in
Are we afraid to try
Circumstances we're given
You can curse the sky
Or the human condition
But if we're meant to die
Then it's time to start living
When the lights all fade away
And your eyes have turned to gray
Ashes to ashes
Will your spirit still remain
For the tears they're sure to cry
Will they sing your lullaby
Dust to dust
The end of a beautiful lie
I spoke to the reaper
I keep him close
Of all my friends and enemies
I know him the most
It's all about acceptance
When our curtains close
Because in the end
We're all just ghosts
When the lights all fade away
And your eyes have turned to gray
Ashes to ashes
Will your spirit still remain
For the tears they're sure to cry
Will they sing your lullaby
Dust to dust
The end of a beautiful lie
I know
That everyone wants to be remembered
Just go
On and on about how you know better
Even though
Both saints and sinners die together
In our hearts
You'll remain forever
When the lights all fade away
And your eyes have turned to gray
Ashes to ashes
Will your spirit still remain
For the tears they're sure to cry
Will they sing your lullaby
Dust to dust
The end of a beautiful lie
The end of a beautiful lie
The end of a beautiful lie
