When I am laid in a chest
Someone's work makes me look my very best
The scarlet shirt I always wore
On special days that came before
I'm ready to go
Ready to sleep
Ready to fall
Into the deep
But it's not my will, I can't control
I've made peace with the animals
I am consoled
Earthly vessel, dressed for parade
Lamentations sung from far away
My hands are heavy on my chest
On my chest
But it's not my will, I can't control
I've made peace with the animals
I am consoled
