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
