To the dearly departed:

This song is for you.

Love,
Terry

lyrics

Did you come here from the other side?
You just appeared on my bedside
Did you come here to escort us?
Where will you transport us?
Rigor Mortis
Rigor Mortis

And the lights begin to dim
And the nights fall in
Can I take
Can I take my time?

I'm alive but I am dead
I hear them dirges in my head
My tears are turning sour
I'm drowning by the hour
Rigor Mortis
Rigor Mortis

Condemn my ashes to the urn
Was I born alive just to burn?
I consider it a curse
To go out in a hearse
Rigor Mortis

And the lights begin to dim
And the nights fall in
Can I take
Can I take my time?

And the ground feels so thin
Way way down I'm buried in
Can I take
Can I take my time?

Did you come here from the other side?
You just appeared on my bedside
Did you come here to escort us?
Where will you transport us?
Rigor Mortis
Rigor Mortis
