As candles flicker in the frigid dark night

Mourners gather in droves

To carry their burden of despair

Prayer for the soul, the final hour

Silence falls...

Incense rises, the smoke ascends

Mourning continues

As the body rests within its final home

Penance and prayer are offered...

They prayed for peace

Yet it is hard to see light

Only dark shadows in the eternal night

Yet the smoke, we know the way

Eternal grace and mercy that Christ will lay

Time goes on

The dead yet aren't forgotten

The Incense fades, yet scars of pain remain

Hearts trapped in endless chains...
