"Requiem For Mankind" lyrics - MEMORIAM

MEMORIAM
"Requiem For Mankind"

The final act
Shall now begin
Forgive us from
Our mortal sins
Hear the sermon
A last lament
Led from temptation
Now to repent

[Refrain:]
Lowered down
Into the grave
The earth now calls
Honouring the brave

[Chorus:]
Requiem for mankind

Now ring out
The death knell
Solemn sound
Of the funeral bell
Consigned into
Eternity
The last rites
Closing eulogy

[Refrain:]
Lowered down
Into the grave
The earth now calls
Honouring the brave

[Bridge:]
Preordained, what shall be shall be
The body lost, the spirit set free
Forevermore, eternal sleep
The end of life, resting in peace

[Chorus:]
Requiem for mankind
Sanctuary denied
Requiem for mankind

Revered in glory
Legend lives on
Within our soul
Now is one
Place the stone
On the burial mound
Tranquility
Now is found

[Refrain:]
Lowered down
Into the grave
The earth now calls
Honouring the brave
