I saw him lying and sleeping still
Inside his coffin, pale and dead
While others are fighting for his will
To find out the successor as it’s said
Nobody, I mean, nobody is paying attention
To the person who is dead in the coffin
They only need to know what it mention
And find who stays and who are walkin’
Why are people acting like this?
Trying to win with their selfish desires
And be greedy and also amiss!
And be burnt in their own quenchless fires
Nobody is going to live here forever
We’re all meant to die one way or another
So try spending your life together
With your siblings, father and mother
We are all going to rot to nothingness
Or be burned and turned to ashes
So try getting rid of all the darkness
And let your good time reappear in flashes
Those who died have taught you a lesson
That a pile of cash will not buy you happiness
Only the sacrifice they made and their blessin’
Can lead you straight, when you’re in a mess
So it is good not to fight but to prevail
In loving him and her and everybody else
Cause this is not just a dead man’s tale
And let love triumph and money melts
