The Funeral Pyre

A fire shall burn on a starless night Where the dead and alive unite in a choir The forest sleeps in the dead of night Awaiting for the dawn to arise God of fire, god of death What is the path to enlightenment? Take me down the road where no man has been There's a fire inside brighter than the sun God of fire, god of death Show me the path to enlightment If you require a sacrifice then I will provide and leave this world behind God of flame and shadow Spread your disease upon those who deny you Dance with the fire, and embrace the kiss of death Hear the words beyond the void, play every dissonant chord Beautiful in color, as in tone I have seen my death before these eyes I have seen the end of this world Light the torch and sound the bell For I am on my way I set my sail To a world unknown Towards the southern shores Towards eternal death We were born and we died together - on the funeral pyre
