SHOULD I REST IN PEACE?

Got tired of running this way
Wished death shouldn’t catch up today.
Don’t want a tombstone in my name
Don’t want to be laid in the grave
Don’t want the gun shot salute
Don’t want my girlfriend to find out
Not now, oh lord not now

The soul gives up & drifts away
For whom is Rest in peace carved anyway?
For he who mourns the passing
Or for whom now God embraces?
Whose life will I be allowed to spare?
When will I go from this mass grave?
When will their lust for blood satiate?
With the next shot of my musket?
Have seen enough of bodies give up on their souls
Killing still….just to get home

The soul gives up & drifts away
For whom is Rest in peace carved anyway?
For he who mourns the passing
Or for whom now God embraces?
Rest in peace don’t you say
After you took all the peace away
The three words I fear to be engraved
I miss in my life deranged.

I wonder & ask…..

Why is R.I.P. carved anyway?
For he who mourns the passing
Or to mock peace….everyday
