Cinis Ad Cinerem, Pulvis Ad Pulverem

Do the ashes rest on the frigid ground so cold? As they are seeing the next steps of infinity, Ask that question of yours to the reaper, be bold. Dust whence we came, dust shall we leave old, Laying down I pray for us all, a touch of divinity, Do the ashes rest on the frigid ground so cold? What heavens seen or hell's abhorred, no gold To replace what you've lost, are you missing eternity? Ask that question of yours to the reaper, be bold. Deaths dark door opens wide, it's coming foretold By understanding, God's grace fills now the vicinity yet Do the ashes rest on the frigid ground so cold? Give in and surrender sweet one, bells have tolled For you this time, meet them and with holy trinity Ask that question of yours to the reaper, be bold. No explanation for his love so gracefully doled Out just so, yet you ponder this beautiful affinity, Do the ashes rest on the frigid ground so cold? Ask that question of yours to the reaper, be bold.
