Requiem

Dry those eyes, they're so telling of age.
Fleeting, their lights start to fade
As a final glimmer of life withers away
Dreams of scattered fate displayed
Break and shatter in dismay
Like candles to a flame, we melt our lives away
Aeternum vale

Now remember the days when
We were younger and coming of age.
Speak no more. Be at peace
My requiem is yours to keep
Tempus edax rerum
Obitus
Rigor mortis

Tempus edax rerum. Aeternum vale
Eyes bone dry, a sure telling of age
Cheating your life of it's days,
As it's final glimmer of light withers away
Turn the pages, their shadows overtake us.
It burns my eyes.
Stillness in patience, never to awaken.

Aeternum vale.
Aeternum vale
Now remember the days
When we were younger and coming of age.
Speak no more. Be at peace. My requiem is yours to keep
These lights have faded, I'm wasting away.
Too long I've waited, I've wasted away
Tempus edax rerum. Aeternum vale
On and on
Through my buried bones, my song lives on.
Through my buried bones, my song lives on.
