Slipknot - Requiem lyrics

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

We were ready for anything...but this

(chorus)

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

Mikey and Tumor verse:

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

We were ready for anything...but this

(chorus)

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)

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
