Funeral Mantra

Funeral Mantra
We light the oil
And touch the beads
The naked feel
Of rosary
The fall of morning
On the lands
The smell of incense
On our hands
We kneel
Before the open grave
And light
The candles with our pain

Because all things
Will change
Because they stay the same
We live again
We learn
The consequence of sin
We roll our eyes
And touch our skin
We feel
Eternity expressed
With every word
With every breath
We kneel
Before the open grave
And light
The candles with our pain
Because the seasons
Change
Because they stay the same
We live again
We kneel
Before the open grave
And light
The candles with our pain
Because all things
Will change
And as your God explains
We live again
We live again
We live again
We live again.
