Approach the image filled with fear As the image grows so clear Future now takes full control The one whose past you now behold Touch -- the flesh it is so cold Turn away -- you now have been told Never to return, memories will last In the future, you'll think about the past Never to forget, what you have seen
People come to pay respect Taking pictures of the dead This is what life comes to be Once they lived, now they're deceased
Death is oh so strange The past no one can change What you can't predict Is how long you'll exist Open casket -- open casket
Life will never be the same Death can never be explained It's their time to go beyond Empty feeling when they're gone
Never to return, memories will last In the future, you'll think about the past Never to forget, what you have seen What can not be real you now believe
