The air is heavy the clocks don’t chime

A blackbird perches on borrowed time

No words spoken just the shuffle of shoes

In a sea of black ties and muted blues

Funeral bells they toll for the brave

For the lost for the love we gave

Ring so hollow ring so true

Funeral bells they sing for you

The ground is cold but it’s softer than stone

We gather together but feel so alone

Whispers of laughter that linger in the air

Echo like ghosts we can't see but swear are there

Flowers wilt in a flash of rain

Every petal tells a story of pain

Funeral bells they toll for the brave

For the lost for the love we gave

Ring so hollow ring so true

Funeral bells they sing for you

Ashes to ashes the sky won’t cry

The sun won’t wait for a last goodbye

But here we stand as shadows fall

With hearts that break but still feel it all...
