in death do us part, love
please free my soul
return me to the earth
turn my body to ashes
bury me in the blackest soil

so should a Heavenly Father
never open his gates,
let Mother Earth
take good care of me

let flowers take root in me
let new beauty bloom from
where I once laid with you
and now remain forever

darling, don't weep much over me
do not mourn the loss of life
instead give breath to the new
let the only tears you cry
be to water the daisies
