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 againWe 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 kneel

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.
