A Funeral Request (New Version 1993) Songtext / Lyric

White rose perfume go with thee on thy way

Unto the thy shaded tomb low music doth fall

Lightly, as autumn leaves about they solemn pall

Faint incense rise



O'you, you fell away from me, my love

Like all earthly things

Vanish into death's cold mysteries



Serpents marked with azure rings cathedrals

Where rich shadows fall

Things strange curious solemn savior

Solemn savior



O'you, you fell away from me, my love

Like all earthly things

Vanish into death's cold mysteries






You promised me laughter in autumn days

Now I can't awake from this lucid haze

I can't awake to laugh with you

I'm so weary



Claws upon my flesh

And statues of lost souls dominate this house

Angels have no pity

Their wings have turned to stone



Come, travel, naked lovers

Beyond all dimensions of heaven

And lie enchanted forever

In the lucid garden of dreams



In all animate sources and creation of belief

We travel seas of illusions that begin at our dreams



Ethereal architects, masters of all fate

[Incomprehensible]
