Requiem

[Intro: Corey Taylor] We were ready for anything We were ready for anything [Verse 1: Corey Taylor] Everyone knows some pain I see the loss every time someone says your name When you know someone who shines hard A soul of the age who doesn't care Who the fuck you are? You had a friend, a brother who was everything But he had to go away, that was yesterday I've lost a lot of people in my time The good, the bad, the unreal And the ones who shine So I know you all understand When I say that until they left [Pre-Chorus: Corey Taylor] We were ready for anything We were ready for anything But this [Chorus: Corey Taylor] You are not gone We keep you here inside us You are not gone We know you're still beside us You are not gone We have this light you gave to us [Verse 2: Corey Taylor] Now it's time to lay to rest our friend And through these songs His memory will never fucking end We will see that Through this loss we'll shed some light on you Until the day you left us [Pre-Chorus: Corey Taylor] We were ready for anything We were ready for anything But this [Chorus: Corey Taylor] You are not gone We keep you here inside us You are not gone We know you're still beside us You are not gone We have this light you gave to us [Breakdown: Corey Taylor] Why'd you have to go? We never had a chance I can't believe it so I won't admit it Life ain't shit without you in it [Chorus: Corey Taylor] You are not gone We keep you here inside us You are not gone We know you're still beside us You are not gone We have this light you gave to us [Outro: Corey Taylor] Everybody says the light that shines the brightest burns out fast But what they never say is all the light they give us lasts We hold the memories and cherish everyday we had But we would give it up in a second just to have you back!
