Funeral Mantra

We light the oil
And touch the beads
The naked feel Of rosary
The fall of morning On the lands
The smell of incense On our hands
We kneel Before the open grave
And light The candles with our pain
Because all things Will change
Because they stay the same
We live again
We learn The consequence of sin
We roll our eyes And touch our skin
We feel Eternity expressed
With every word
With every breath
We kneel Before the open grave
And light The candles with our pain
Because the seasons Change
Because they stay the same
We live again
We knee Before the open grave
And light The candles with our pain
Because all things Will change
And as your God explains
We live again
We live again
We live again
We live again
