Snare roll
(acapella w/military drums; chords implied):
Requiem aeternam, requiem aete...rnam
Mama, mama, forget your pies
Have faith they won't get cold
And turn your eyes to the bloodshot sky
Your flag is flying full
At half-mast
For the matadors
Who turned their backs
To please the crowd
And all fell before the bull
Red was the color of his blood flowing thin
Pallid white was the color of his lifeless skin
Blue was the color of the morning sky
He saw looking up from the ground where he died
It was the last thing ever seen by him
(acapella w/military drums and sustained Fon bass; chords implied):
Kyrie elei...son
(flugelhorn and military drums)
Black and white were the figures that recorded him
Black and white was the newsprint he was mentioned in
Black and white was the question that so bothered him
He never asked, he was taught not to ask
What was on his lips as they buried him
(acapella w/military drums; chords implied:)
Rex tremendae majestatis
(acapella w/military drums; chords implied:)
Requiem aeternam, requiem aete...rnam
(flugelhorn and military drums to fade)
-- another ace 60's tab from Andrew Rogers
