One

3 by 3 they carry the casket
The man inside was the one
The one loner
The one who stands by himself

The palbearers are the gravediggers
They are the only ones attending this funeral
The silence is deafening
Time for the eulogy.....

So where is everyone
The eulogy is being recited
Over the crackling of a tape recorder
They had to record his eulogy

No family was there
No one around
The priest thought being present was senseless
Due to the lack of people

No family
No loved ones
No future in the present
Nobody

They lower the casket
Set the man to peaceful rest
By himself, for himself
Nobody was there
