Before the earth kisses the coffin
Praise this silent night as it belongs to the mourners
They gather in sorrow
So many, they are in every corner
A gathering to bid a restful here after
A final farewell
Exalting the passers with tears and laughter
These antithetic emotions fill this necropolis
Their whispers like hymns
Deep, dark and ominous
Lyrics filled with lement hang softly
Echoing the departed's past
Verse by verse they bemoan in elegy;
'We pray that mercy has been bestowed upon your soul, that you have been forgiven of things out of your control'
'Let not your love and life be forgotten upon reaching your creator, we pray in the hereafter your life and riches are greater'
In the earth loved ones now placed as silence falls upon the mourning.
Final thoughts, one last goodbye as the dirt starts pouring.
