The Casket Comes Forth... Lyrics


A shallow, bitter grave

I approach the end

The sins of my life cling to me

I must repent

Penance taken for my past

Will it be enough?

Fears swirl endlessly through my head

As the coffin comes forth

Pray my final prayers

Throw myself at the feet of Christ

Was it enough?

After I lived in darkness, and turned away my face

Will I be forgiven, or is it too late?

A shallow, bitter grave

I approach the end

The sins of my life cling to me

I must repent

To have sin washed away or to be damned?

I close my eyes, breathe in the ghastly air

Today, I die with a sinful heart and guilty mind
