She saw a raven spread its wings
Without the strength to fly away.
How could she know that this was its cry:
"Don't start your journey now."
Canonic chant and silent lament
Candles are burning, time's passing by.
Who will first go beyond the light
Time will tell, but the choir will still sing.
Requiem Aeternam dona eis, Domine
Ex audi, ex audi orationem meam
The last thing she saw were the red flowers by the road
She smiled and said: "What a beautiful day..."
Then the angels took her away.
Voca me, cum benedictis
Voca me
