Birth is the start of death The endless process of decaying breath Time has taken its toll And your lungs resemble coal Your life's so important in your own eyes There's no way to prevent demise And when your still here Chresih the moments you hold dear Because all that you've done Amounts to nothing when you're gone And when you're found lying in shit Few people will care one bit Kiss the Dead man's face To respect someone who finished the race Are the tears from sorrow or joy Or tradition taught when they were boys Laid to rest beneath the earth
