When I die.
When death consumes
my body and
I'm transcended to the
world beyond I ask
that you remember.

Not how I was.
Not what I did.
Remember what I
asked be done for me.

I wish not to be buried.
Not to be in  a box to rot.
Till the earth faces
its final judgment.

I wish to be put
over the flame.
Not in a stove.
Place me upon a pyre
on some distant beach.

Put the coins over my
eyes so I may pay.
My fare to see those
who've gone before.

As the wind sweeps me away.
Watch as the world spreads
me across the sea.
So I may land on distant
beaches so far away.

Please remember my last
request, please remember
me for all of who I be.
Play my song, only then
can you set me free.
