Slow burning eulogy for a life misunderstood....
What is the meaning of death?
Oh, I hear the requiem of Heaven
by the way
and I think it's safe to assume
that everybody has their day
Oh, when I leave this world
you better count on this
If I ever come back here again
It won't be reminisce
As the Requiem of Heaven plays
Way out yonder in the bayou
Was a lil' ol' man
Tryin’ to make his way through
Caught some crawfish
and an alligator too
way out yonder in the bayou
As the Requiem of Heaven plays
I can see the ugly light
from the morning' creeping' through
Waken' up on the wrong side of death
I don't wanna go with yesterday's feelings'
Oh, as it gains on me
I can clearly remember why
I left it all so far behind
As the requiem of heaven plays
