Funeral Mantra Lyrics - Wilderness - Brett Anderson

We light the oil 

And touch the beads. 

The naked feel 

Of rosary . 

The fall of morning 

On the lands. 

The smell of incense 

On our hands. 

We kneel 

Before the open grave. 

And light 

The candles with our pain. 

Because all things 

Will change. 

Because they stay the same 

We live again 

We learn 

The consequence of sin. 

We roll our eyes 

And touch our skin. 

We feel 

Eternity expressed 

With every word, 

With every breath. 

We kneel 

Before the open grave. 

And light 

The candles with our pain. 

Because the seasons 

Change. 

Because they stay the same 

We live again. 

We kneel 

Before the open grave. 

And light 

The candles with our pain. 

Because all things 

Will change. 

And as your God explains, 

We live again. 

We live again. 

We live again. 

We live again.
