Life seems to be,
no longer in vain.
It's time to close your eyes,
no longer to feel the pain.

Let's take part of the ceremony,
the laying of the head.
One last time to see you,
the tears that are shed.

It's not the end,
it's only the beginning.
A time of joy,
a time of sadness,
hear the choirs of Heaven sing.

For we will see you,
in the world to come.
But as for now,
memories of you will live on.

The breath you breathe,
now it ceases to be.
Sleep in death,
rest in peace.
