[Intro]
We gather here today to mourn the loss of a brother and a friend
If you could all please rise and join me

[Chorus]
"Rain pours, washing away
Any trace of love
Replaced with dismay
This room so quiet...
This room, so quiet without your voice;
The final bell calls but all I hear is noise
The blind lead the blind and death follows suit
Consuming the people we thought we once knew

[Verse]
There's a problem with the world today
Coffin nail, oh how your echo haunts me;
Claiming what’s not yours
Taken to the dirt, forevermore
I've stood up so many times to say goodbye
But this time I feel the fault is mine
How many times did I watch you fall asleep?
How could have I known what you were dreaming?
I hope today that you're finally at peace;
A melancholic pause for loss and the in-between
We all say that we should have known
But it’s always too late when the true scars start to show
Will you remember me in the next life?
If you do, please know I tried
And while you had suffering
I was left with loathe
(Kadeem France of Loathe)
“Please wake up me from this bad dream
The darkness here is forever unending
We once walked side by side;
Where are you now? Where are you now?
Father above, please hear me now
You didn't before; I hope you're listening now
You all watch me like a scapegoat
Tell me; what did you do to fix my sorrow?”

We did nothing but walk on by;
Ignorant of what was on your mind
You lost the battle, but we lost the war
A kingdom falls, as do we all

[Breakdown]
Live. Serve. Die
(That's all we know)
Live. Serve. Die
(That's all you know)
Live. Serve. Die
(With S-1-3)
Live. Serve. Die
(Carved in your tombstone)

[Bridge]
You walked across a sea of flames
But when the temperature rose we never bothered to help
We forgot, left you behind, ignoring the pain in your eyes
Now you're gone I can't find the words to say
The right words to say...
(Dear old friend, my brother in arms
A soul so broken; we could not mend
I hope your soul rests in a world so calm
A more deserving end)
[Outro / Chorus]
Rain pours, washing away
Any trace of love, replaced with dismay
You gave up all that you owned;
Your love, your family, your home
But what I regret the most was giving up on you."
