Death Be Not Proud - Song of Passing Lyrics

Behold this scarred and this sullen child
Broken with these
Shattered bones
So charred and desolate inside
'Tis none other than me, this fetid fading life

Life is flashing before these eyes
A broken spirit, no will to survive
Set to fail, and pass quietly
Silent shall be this eulogy

Under this somber sky
So silent is this demise
Is this how I shall die a forgotten man
Less than a number, a grain of sand

Into this nameless grave
As redemption is far too late
Oh but my darling, my blackened heart's tuned into stone
As I fade away, unsung and alone

Unceremonious
Lost son, the unforgiven
No soul to mourn or praise this ending

Behold this scarred and this sullen child
Broken with these
Shattered bones
Delivered towards the soil
Now wrapped and buried in worm's coil
'Tis none other than me, this fetid fading life

Denied to live this life
Resentfully declined
As the darkness calls, I close my eyes for the last time

Forgotten is my fate
And buried with my name
And with regret and spite, here I shall now forever lie
