My body rests in a dark chamber
As I am receiving final farewells
A saddened silence fills the air
The smell of flowers, the smell of death
The latch is opened, my skin reflects the light
A short prayer is recited in my honour
Some take a step forward, their stares descend
Looks of deception, looks of despair
Some are faceless, some are caught in the moment
Communication at light speed occurs
faster than words can be expressed
One-way telepathy provides the living souls
a sense of presence when left alone
A mental sketch is tattooed on their minds
time to say their "adieux" arrives
My vessel sealed, a cold breeze strikes the world beyond
I am imprisioned from the world of light
Some induce tears, hostage to emotion
Looking from above, I can feel their pain
I will guide
Purity resists, faith will overcome
I survive
They forgive my sins, I can feel the peace
Of my life
Looking through their souls
Timeless sense of loss, overtaking thee
I will guide
With a mere remorse, they will call to me
I survive
Tell the secrets of an unforgotten past
Of my life
Looking through my soul
Voiceless but present
Some can feel it, some ignore the forces
As I descend into the depths of goodbyes
The raining earth is bestowed upon my being
As I watch over and comfort thee
A last prayer in unison begins
Forever lasting, words do not die
Priceless balance
"You feel I have abandoned you, but it is you who left me behind"
