Body Of Clay

I had a most peculiar dream

My eyes were open wide

I dreamed my soul just lost control and left this body behind

So far below I saw myself where cold and still I lay

No clue that there I once had dwelt

Jjust an empty body of clay

Chorus

Body of clay body of clay

Cradle my soul until that day

When heaven and earth have passed away

And so this body of clay

My fear rose like a warm spring flood

My vision was washed away

I woke to find myself inside this body of clay

I will not fear death's last goodbye

Or rue rot, ravel and rust

I know now my soul lives on

When this body of clay is dust
