A Burial lyrics

As we, the community, have gathered here,
I would like to pose a question;
How do you sum up a life in a few words?
How do you measure the weight of a soul in a matter of moments?

You do not.
You cannot.

But you can pray for rest
And you can pray for light
And you can remember,
You can always remember;

Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine, et lux perpetua luceat eis.
In memoria aeterna erit iustus, ab auditione mala non timebit.

English translation:

“Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord:
And let perpetual light shine upon them.
He shall be justified in everlasting memory,
And shall not fear evil reports.”
