Lower the Flags

歌詞

He's gone, he is dead His remains upon the hearse ahead As silently we wander through the mist He's free This is the end Your journey's over, night descends Below into the abyss Farewell, my friend, you will be missed Lower the flags A good man has passed He has reached the last of frontiers Lower the flags Down to half-mast For again the world has taken a turn for the worse He's gone, he is dead Six feet of earth upon his head Now lay your wreaths Upon the one who lies beneath Although you're gone In memories you shall live on Asleep in peace now rest The weight of the world is off your chest Lower the flags A good man has passed He has reached the last of frontiers Lower the flags Down to half-mast For again the world has taken a turn for the worse That mourning light I'll always remember And these August nights; cold as December Lower the flags A good man has passed He has reached the last of frontiers Lower the flags Down to half-mast For again the world has taken a turn for the worse
