An Offering Of Grief - Lyrics - Pallbearer

A pallbearer is one of several funeral participants who helps carry the casket, usually covered with a pall, of a deceased person from a religious or memorial service or viewing either directly to a cemetery or mausoleum, or to and from the hearse which carries the coffin.

In the twilight hour clouds obscure the bleeding light As they bear the body of the sun To lay at rest in the earth Lay a shade on my eyes, On the corners where mysteries are born Let me search the distant stars for what is left of my ruin Inhaling the stillness, I make silence my temple And place an offering of grief A communion with the soul In the shadows I wander A solitary man, fearing not the hidden But searching In this harsh world of deception, I will stand up once more And find within myself the strength to stumble again
