 | Legal & Other Lyrics |  |
HERE LIES
Here lies, of sense bereft—
But sense he never had;
Here lies, by feeling left—
But that is just as bad;
Here lies, reduced to dirt—
That's what he always was;
Here lies, without a heart—
He ne'er had one, alas!
But sense he never had;
Here lies, by feeling left—
But that is just as bad;
Here lies, reduced to dirt—
That's what he always was;
Here lies, without a heart—
He ne'er had one, alas!
Here lies ........
He did so ere he died;
Then simply to begin,—Here lies—
But all his life he lied.
Death is a change, they say,—
Ye powers that rule the sky,
What change is here, I pray?
For surely he did die.
He did so ere he died;
Then simply to begin,—Here lies—
But all his life he lied.
Death is a change, they say,—
Ye powers that rule the sky,
What change is here, I pray?
For surely he did die.
