With life's four-way stop

The change in your shadow drops

Fate pulls you down for the count

With broken promises to amount

Time seal our ways to the heart of our hiding place

When all our life lies are crossed

Some scars can never heal from what we lost

To fail the test and the power destroy

To light the way where you have gone

For all your funerals to come

A requiem in death of some

And it seems to be that consistency is not what lingers ahead

But a virtue of the dead

One of these days

Hours pass the night's stage

When your spirit won't turn on you

The world shuts down with no replay to undo you

Breathing, lifeless, not afraid to die

Breathing, lifeless, you're afraid not to live

Breathing, lifeless, not afraid to die

Breathing, lifeless, you're afraid not to live

To fail the test and the power destroy

To light the way where you have gone

For all your funerals to come

A requiem in death of some
