Take a step put one foot in the grave Catch a breath submerged in holy water Watch a moving scene of former days Shed a tear as memory starts to falter
Familiar faces try to hide the pain Medicate to alleviate the pressure Make amends with the ones I used to hate Feel the agony give way to pleasure
[Chorus] Tearing down the walls of eternity All in my loving memory
Final scene humility
I succumb to universal law Another system's energy disperses Mother nature red in tooth and claw It's the game that everybody loses
Show your cards and accept What you've been dealt Guardian or harbringer of sorrow? Pour a drink, raise a glass And toast to health Is the truth too hard for us to swallow?
[Chorus] Tearing down the walls of eternity All in my loving memory
Master of creation Lead us from temptation Father of invention Please guild my ascension
So much left unspoken Life leaving heartbroken A sense of acceptance One final repentance
Read these words upon my stone In piam memoriam
[Chorus] Tearing down the walls of eternity All in my loving memory
