The Remembrance Ballad

These days are closing in

The end has become apparent

We're only here for so long

Will anyone remember my name

When time has washed away

The dust of my ashes?

When my head rests

In a velvet-lined casket?

What's out there?

What is my eternal fate?

And it only just recently hit me

That this life is just a state

Mortality fading

Like the innocence of love

I'm scared to death

Of what's to become

Of my immortal soul

Of this eternal flame

Will you remember?

Will your heart sing with pain?

Who calls out my name?

My name

Who can tell me what happens

When my eyes close for the last time?

My eyes close

Does it all simply end in a blanket of darkness?

Does it end?

What of my soul?

What of my soul?

All those things that you couldn't say

You should've said

All those "I love yous" lost

Weighed more like lead on your chest

All those things that you couldn't say

You should've said

All those "I love yous" lost

Weighed more like lead on your chest

What of?

Of my immortal soul

Of this eternal flame

Will you remember?

Will your heart sing with pain?

Who calls out my name

My name

Who can tell me what happens

When my eyes close for the last time?

My eyes close

Does it all simply end in a blanket of darkness?

Does this end?

What of my soul?

What of my soul?

If I could take back all those misspent days

Every second of anger

I would wash my sins away

Who calls out my name?

My name

Who can tell me what happens

When my eyes close for the last time?

My eyes close

Does it all simply end in a blanket of darkness?

Does it end?

What of my soul?

What of my soul?

Who calls out my name?

My name

Who can tell me what happens

When my eyes close for the last time?

My eyes close

Does it all simply end in a blanket of darkness?

Does it end?

What of my soul?

What of my soul?
