Requiem For Mankind Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The final act
Shall now begin
Forgive us from
Our mortal sins
Hear the sermon
A last lament
Led from temptation
Now to repent

[Refrain]
Lowered down
Into the grave
The earth now calls
Honouring the brave

[Chorus]
Requiem for mankind

[Verse 2]
Now ring out
The death knell
Solemn sound
Of the funeral bell
Consigned into
Eternity
The last rites
Closing eulogy

[Refrain]
Lowered down
Into the grave
The earth now calls
Honouring the brave [Bridge]
Preordained, what shall be shall be
The body lost, the spirit set free
Forevermore, eternal sleep
The end of life, resting in peace

[Chorus]
Requiem for mankind
Sanctuary denied
Requiem for mankind

[Verse 3]
Revered in glory
Legend lives on
Within our soul
Now is one
Place the stone
On the burial mound
Tranquility
Now is found

[Refrain]
Lowered down
Into the grave
The earth now calls
Honouring the brave
