Death Requiem — Mortification

As they gather at the funeral wake To speak of good times gone by The deceased soul learns some more Revealed reality, the flames of unrest

SONG: "Maybe his in his next life" Sobs ma as the tears roll Unknowing the eternal destination As He awaits the judgement throne

SONG: "He's at rest now" The hired celebrant proclaims He tickles all the ears While sin is exposed by the Heavenly Host

Silence falls over the crowd As the casket lowers into the ground While kneeling in the Heavenlies Confessing the forsaken Lord of his life

SONG: "How can God allow this" Cries sister in lament But God had other plans And revealed what this has meant

You gather what you cast into this straying earth life While man has his will, the Son paid the price

You turn the flesh back into dust Saying return to dust you sons of Adam Lord teach us so to number our days That we may apply our hearts to wisdom In order that we avoid the aftermath of separation Returning to the original purpose of creation

So back on earth men make their claims playing SONG: "Where do they go" games While up in Heaven the creator cries as people listen To each other's lies
