Funeral Dirge Lyrics by Jake McNeillie

Dream Country

2015

The world is a desert
Each grain of sand a lost dream
By the second we grow older
By the hour less bold
And the wolves that prey at your soul
Devour pleasures as they're brought to life
And I am slowly fading
As time clocks govern my mind
The world is molasses
Green grass sage overtime
And the seas out their rage
Each beggar striving to make their way
So won't you sing a funeral dirge for my soul
I'm driftin' far from the child I once knew
And each time I raise my hands to the sky
Like a bird they clip my wings than I dive
And outside a snowclad wasteland
In emptyness darkness looms
My screams are forgotten
Cold aspirations in a tomb
And rest assured they'll come a time
A fruit of passion from the vine
So won't you sing a funeral dirge for my soul
I'm driftin' far from the child I once knew
And each time I raise my hands to the sky
Like a bird they clip my wings than I dive
