and you say life is bitter sweet

you've tried so gracefully 

but its faceless company has let you down

say it comes to this 

all the things you'd miss

a requiem won't change your fate



lost and they set you free

concerned by what they'd see

and you begged on bended knee

still they let you down

say it comes to this

all the things you'd miss

a requiem won't change your fate



it passes over you 

passes over



say it comes to this

all the things you'd miss

a requiem won't change your fate

it passes over you

passes over you

passes over

so soon 

this requiem

this requiem

this requiem
