From the recording The Last Rites
Lyrics
Verse 1: Commendation,
Of the dying,
To ensure,
Your soul still rises,
You think your atonement,
Is all for the better,
Releasing resentment,
Your cross is now centered.
Chorus: These are the last rites,
Final ritual as you die,
Bonding family and faith,
The last moments as you say goodbye.
Verse 2: Out of the pain,
And out of the shame,
Of everything,
That you’ve held inside,
Recreate,
A piece of the hate,
Of anything,
That you held in mind.
Chorus: These are the last rites,
Final ritual as you die,
Bonding family and faith,
The last moments as you say goodbye.
Interlude: Say goodbye,
As you die,
Say goodnight,
Look towards the sky,
You are now undertaken,
Time to turn the final page,
And here it lies what all forsaken,
Coming to the final stage.
Chorus: These are the last rites,
Final ritual as you die,
Bonding family and faith,
The last moments as you say goodbye.
Outro: Say goodbye,
As you die,
Say goodnight,
Look towards the sky.
