Ignite the funeral pyre, And let's close the casket lid on everything. On this institution and on every memory burn it all in effigy. Let's watch it burn. [chorus:] Fell into the depths of a broken heart again, And I'll die alone, but I get lost in your eyes, And I can't help but feel like I'll never find love there again.[/chorus] Dressed in white you mourned nothing, As you led the precession with a smile.
There was no eulogy given, For no kind words could be conjured up this time. No not a single word of praise had escaped from your lips. On that day, there was no more need To conjure up things that made things seem ok. [chorus] As you walk on, ash falls like snow. Can you express regret? Or just let a smile show. Please just walk on. Don't respond, I already know. [chorus]
