Another soul departed today
 A grieving fact that I have grown used to
 Ashes to ashes and dust to what?
 A ticket to oblivion when your dear ones follow you

 Sickness drained the lake inside me
 That I used to shed my tears
 Sorrow and sadness in abundance
 Left a desert through so many years

 Gone forever, all but a memory
 A grain of sand in a brief moment in time
 The rain is pouring down, saddening me
 As I listen to the sound of the church bell chime

 Sickness drained the lake inside me
 That I used to shed my tears
 Sorrow and sadness in abundance
 Left a desert through so many years

 What is life but a flash of a switch in the light of eternity

 Another soul departed today
 Accompanied by the choir's song
 Another soul departed today
 It took a little part of me along

 Sickness drained the lake inside me
 That I used to shed my tears
 Sorrow and sadness in abundance
 Left a desert through so many years
