Open Casket - Death

Approach the image filled with fear

As the image grows so clear

Future now takes full control

The one whose past you now behold

Touch the flesh, it is so cold

Turn away, you now have been told

Never to return, memories will last

In the future, you’ll think about the past

Never to forget what you have seen

People come to pay respect

Taking pictures of the dead

This is what life comes to be

Once they lived, now they’re deceased

Death is oh so strange

The past no one can change

What you can’t predict

Is how long you’ll exist

Open casket

Open casket

Life will never be the same

Death can never be explained

It’s their time to go beyond

Empty feeling when they’re gone

Never to return, memories will last

In the future, you’ll think about the past

Never to forget what you have seen

What cannot be real you now believe
