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!
