The Final Nail in His Coffin

A stately procession in my honor
Lumbering footsteps take me towards fate
I don't understand what's going on

My heart is sore with anguish
I find myself among familiar faces
An endless parade of weary façades

Why such deep sadness?
Why wallow in such despair?
Grim scowls fill my sight
Is this a dream?

How come I'm under this spell
As all I've done was lie down and rest?
I glimpse my name carved on a gravestone
That's when realization strikes
I'm no longer part of the world of the living
"The terrors of death have fallen upon me"

As they seal my crypt
Forever earthly womb

Everyone fades from sight
Now all I can do is to pray

But a light shines through, I see
I'm no longer alone

Solace comes through a friendly voice
"Rest in Peace", it says
"Rest eternally..."
