Death Came And Took My Tears Away

Pallbearers called forth to come to my casket
The world is cold and dark, full of nothing
It was this week I finally died alone
With solitude and silence in my house

As the winter winds blew strong bringing with it a hard snow
The many tears cried came with the dying embers in the fireplace
Leaving with it ashes much like within my own life
Remains of a life once lived

Can a man be reborn in his disbelieves, can a man die in his beliefs
Silence answered the fall of my tears
I heard a song within myself, and felt the dance of so many years
And I started falling... falling into my own death

When you look for happiness in life it's not always found
Blindly looking for answers will leave you high and dry
So now it is that the funeral march plays
Now it is that the Pallbearers bare my casket away

Tomorrow was just another piece of life I never got to see
Who really knows what the future will bring
Remember me on the coldest of nights
That eerie feeling when you can't sleep, you'll know I'm there

Recalling to your mind how you never cared at all
I was just a passenger to my own life, like the best story never read
Feeling my soul called on to the other side
Death finally came and took my tears away
