The Funeral March - Sirenia (塞壬)

Written by：Morten Veland

The embrace of a dying day

Stings my heart like a sharpened blade

What's this life but a serenade

A deceitful kiss from a vile mermaid

All this time we were broken

Words passed by yet unspoken

Life is a tragic masquerade

A bitter serenade

A feeble parade

Life is the funeral of dreams

There is no way to redeem

All we lost in this scene

Life is just a funeral march

Grievance and despair at large

Falling stars and a rising moon

A scarlet tear and a silver spoon

Fading aeons and a dying love

The darkness beneath and the light above

All this time we were broken

There's no sight

There's no token

Life is a tragic masquerade

A bitter serenade

A feeble parade

Life is the funeral of dreams

There is no way to redeem

All we lost in this scene

Life is just a funeral march

Grievance and despair at large

Here comes the funeral march

Mourners of this life at large

Downcast souls withdrawn

From the world beyond the dawn

Here comes the funeral parade

Grievers of life's masquerade

Wanderers in the utter dark

And their road goes ever on and on

Life is a tragic masquerade

A bitter serenade

A feeble parade

Life is the funeral of dreams

There is no way to redeem

All we lost in this scene

Life is just a funeral march

Grievance and despair at large
