Lower the flags Lyrics
He's gone, he's dead
His remains are upon the hearse ahead
Silently we wander though that if he's free
Is this the end?
Your journey is over and I descend
Below into the abyss,
Farewell, my friend, you will be missed
Lower the flags
A good man has passed
He has reached the last of frontiers
Lower the flags
Down to half mast
For again the world has taken a turn for the worse
He's gone, he's dead
Six feet of earth upon his head
Now lay your wreath upon the
One who lies beneath
Although you're gone
In memories you shall live on
A sleeping peace, now rest
The weight of the world is off your chest
Lower the flags
A good man has passed
He has reached the last of frontiers
Lower the flags
Down to half mast
For again the world has taken a turn for the worse
That morning light I'll always remember
When these August nights, cold as December
Lower the flags
A good man has passed
He has reached the last of frontiers
Lower the flags
Down to half mast
For again the world has taken a turn for the worse
His remains are upon the hearse ahead
Silently we wander though that if he's free
Your journey is over and I descend
Below into the abyss,
Farewell, my friend, you will be missed
A good man has passed
He has reached the last of frontiers
Lower the flags
Down to half mast
For again the world has taken a turn for the worse
Six feet of earth upon his head
Now lay your wreath upon the
One who lies beneath
In memories you shall live on
A sleeping peace, now rest
The weight of the world is off your chest
A good man has passed
He has reached the last of frontiers
Lower the flags
Down to half mast
For again the world has taken a turn for the worse
When these August nights, cold as December
A good man has passed
He has reached the last of frontiers
Lower the flags
Down to half mast
For again the world has taken a turn for the worse

It's a graveyard tune. A pretty good one. It's simple mourning but done very good. Almost as good as Hammerfall's Glory to the Brave.
I like this one more than Glory to the Brave. Anyway... great song, about a friend's funeral (obviously).
This is of course about a friend's funeral. I wish there would have been a music video for it because I have thought out the concept for it. Anyways, fucking cool song. Easily my fav from Funeral!!
