The Remembrance Ballad

These days are closing in. The end has become apparent. We're only here for so long. Will anyone remember my name when time has washed away the dust of our ashes? When my head rests in a velvet lined casket? What's our there? What is my eternal fate? It only just recently hit me that this life is just a state. Mortality fading, like the innocence of love, I'm scared to death of what's to become of my immortal soul of this eternal flame, will you remember? Will your heart sing with pain? Who calls out my name? Who can tell me what happens when my eyes close for the last time? Does it all simply end in a blanket of darkness, what of my soul, what of my soul? All those things you couldn't say, you should have said. All those I love you's lost, weighed more like lead on your chest. What if I could take back all those misspent days? Every second of anger, I would wash my sins away.
