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
