Cremation Lyrics


Oh how you stoked the flames

You've burnt your candle at both ends

To be forgotten, no memories to fade

And now it's too late to make amends

Your children will curse your very name

A father and a dead beat's all the same

A self inflicted fast life led in vain

Spent life addicted and sent right down the drain

Pollution thick

With the stench of bodies burning

Millions are sick

But the world will keep on turning

Graveyards filled to the brim

Across the nation

It's so much cheaper

To have yourself cremated

A blazing alternative to burial

There's no hoping with the smoke the soul will rise

No one staring at your open casket funeral

Or fear of being ever paralyzed

Disposal of a death incineration

High temperature vaporization

Reduced to carbon fragments oxidation

Ashes left in skeletal remnants of cremation

Pollution thick

With the stench of bodies burning

Millions are sick

But the world will keep on turning

Graveyards filled to the brim

Across the nation

It's so much cheaper

To have yourself cremated

If there's a hell I know you're smiling up at me

I find myself just laughing at the thought

The final words are spoken oh so eloquent

One last broken promise irrelevant
