[Intro, slow soft piano, accordion plays duet to piano] [verse 1] hmmm hmmm mmm Slowly dim, light of yesteryear. A life that comes to close. A fire, now left as embers, a life dear. A heart lost to one and all. [Chorus] A Life, a communion, a Requiem. This Life burn to its end. A life, A love, a Requiem. From Ashes unto dust [Accordion plays somber,] [verse 2] Hmmm hmmm mmmm A day's end, Night must prevail. At life's end, from joy to our wail. As one mourns, we must comfort. All are bound for the grave. [Chorus] A Soul, a flame , a Requiem. Another Life's Flame, Extinguished. A Life, a soul, a Requiem. A requiem for Life's Flame, and the tears unshed. [piano plays soft somber] [verse 3, chorus] hmmm hmmm mmm Bound for the grave, we sing this requiem. Bound for the Great Flame. A soul parts from it's mortal coil. We sing this song, our Life's Requiem. [chorus] A Life, a communion, a Requiem. One Life loss, for all to grieve. A warmth, a Sadness, a Requiem, For a life's flame. [outro, piano, accordion] A requiem for a flame. A requiem for a love. A requiem, for us to sing, for us to mourn. A journey to the Great Flame. May we all one day, be rejoined.
