Chapel Of Bones

As you now are

          So once were we

As we are now

          so you will be

so once we lived

          as you live now

so soon change we all

          as you see how

as you walk today

          so once we traveled

as we lie still

          so your lives unravel

so once we laughed

          as your laughter now echoes

so quickly follows silence

          when one’s breathing goes

as you leave today

          so once left we

as we lay tonight

          so will you stay

so once we prayed

          like you meditate

so soothing your voices

          as day grows late

as you gaze down

          so gazed we cruelly

as you are drawn

          so were we quite truly

so once we cried

          as you grow quiet

so moist your firm cheeks

          our tears long dried

as you quickly forget

          we forgot those before

as we are forgotten

          so are your regrets

so once we journeyed

          as you now travel

so still our bones

          as we have learned

as you now love

          so loved we then

as you grow old

          so came our end

so once we played

          as frolic your children

as you grow older

          so our flesh decayed
