There is something to be said for being forever That you will exist when my flesh is bone and dust When my legacy is naught but stony word You will remain When no traces of my tears do show To water the dry earth To know that you will forever cry in my stead There is something to be said And there is something to be said in knowing That your memory of me will never end And in your memory I am sheltered I will remain: an ash amongst the ashes

Remaining in Ashes
There is something to be said for being forever That you will exist when my flesh is bone and dust When my legacy is naught but stony word You will remain When no traces of my tears do show To water the dry earth To know that you will forever cry in my stead There is something to be said And there is something to be said in knowing That your memory of me will never end And in your memory I am sheltered I will remain: an ash amongst the ashes
Remember me always.
