[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
Approach the image filled with fear
As the image grows so clear
Future now takes full control
The one whose past you now behold
[Pre-Chorus]
Touch the flesh
It is so cold
Turn away
You now have been told
[Chorus]
Never to return, memories will last
In the future, you'll think about the past
Never to forget what you have seen
[Verse 2]
People come to pay respect
Taking pictures of the dead
This is what life comes to be
Once they lived, now they're deceased
[Guitar Solo]
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
Death is oh so strange
The past no one can change
What you can't predict
Is how long you'll exist
[Refrain]
Open casket
Open casket
[Verse 3]
Life will never be the same
Death can never be explained
It's their time to go beyond
Empty feeling when they're gone
[Chorus]
Never to return, memories will last
In the future, you'll think about the past
Never to forget what you have seen
What cannot be real you now believe
