Dust to Dust
It seems we've grown accustomed to your face.
A race now to meet you, to greet you, to express our gratitude.
A flying visit to your latitude will prove our appreciation.
The communication delivered, it's time for the return receipt.
Complete in sincerity, will be the presentment.
Memento mori. Sic transit gloria mundi.
And we shall turn the tables in transubstantiation.
Our nation will from the blood pour out your wine.
The nine and ninety names shall on your lips be spoken.
When our token of thanks is offered on the plate of iron.
