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
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?
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
Tearing down the walls of eternity
All in my loving memory
