Approach the image filled with fear   As the image grows so clear   Future now takes full control   The one whose past you now behold   Touch - The flesh it is so cold   Turn away - You now have been told   Never to return, Memories will last   In the future, You'll think about the past   Never to forget, What you have seen      People come to pay respect   Taking pictures of the dead   That is what life comes to be   Once they lived, Now they're deceased      Death is oh so strange   The past no one can change   What you can't predict   Is how long you'll exist   Open casket - Open casket      Life will never be the same   Death can never be explained   It's their time to go beyond   Empty feeling when they're gone      Never to return, Memories will last   In the future, You'll think about the past   Never to forget, What you have seen   What can not be real you now believe
