Remembering promises   Once made but now unspoken   Born of childlike minds   These shadows of the past are now forsaken   From the dawn of your first day   To this death bed in which you lay   To survive we must comply   With the ritual of your life   Can you remember things you said   The dreams our expectations   Like ashes scattered in the wind   There is no recollection   Throughout the passing years   Faith will allay your fears   Follow the holy rites   In the ritual of your life   Life and endless ritual   Continuation perpetual   Throughout the passing years   Faith will allay your fears   Follow the holy rites   In the ritual of your life   Try to remember if you can   The pacts we made most solemn   Hands of time have brought decay   Those memories are forgotten   Now as you reach the end   All pain you must transcend   When you die you can't deny   The ritual of your life
