The bell tolls up on the hill calling mourners to arrive The coffin on altar shrouded in flowers a mute monolith of death From the bible the priest reads his words won't soothe the grief All roads they lead to a grave In death we're all the same No matter what you've earned or found Your carcass will lie rotting in the ground In the end only death will prevail All struggle, striving... all in vain The only hero there is the Conqueror Worm No kingdom of heaven for you my friend When the lid is nailed it is the end Icy rain falls down as the coffin is laid down to the earth Thus a life ends but questions remain is this really all there is It seems so futile this earthly yoke When the only reward is a cold damp grave
