Mortified Bounty

By: Noah Smith

When we have shuffled off this mortal coil

We shed our lives of all the toil,

Our spirit flies and visions cease

Our heart enters everlasting peace,

Divest oneself of its mortal flesh

Relax as dreams are started fresh,

The lord has come to take away

Six feet under now we lay,

Never forgotten memories live on

New ones are made though we’re gone,

We will be missed and that’s for sure

Especially when death comes premature,

Our unbeating hearts now lay at rest

As finally comes again happiness,

We now sit low under the soil

When we have shuffled off this mortal coil
