Author's note: Revised version! And, still, whoa, I haven't posted anything here for a loooong time. I LOVE writing songs!!! I just wish I was more musically talented. I bet I could be… if I took voice lessons. But yeah, this song isn't really all about Lord of the Rings, but rather about Christian witnessing and how unsaved folk are spiritually dead and how God can give them life if they come to Him through Christ (Christ is the only way to Heaven). This is what I believe w/ all my heart and soul. What about you? Well, anyways, enjoy! Please R&R! Oh, yeah, I don't own Lord of the Rings.
To: God 'cause w/o Him I couldn't have written this or anything else. And to the person who this song is about. May God save her and all the lost from Satan's web of sin.

Burrial Is Not Mandatory
"Alas, that these evil days should be mine. The young perish and the old linger. That I should live to see the last days of my house."
"Théodred's death was not of your making."
"No parent should have to bury their child."

Whoa
He falls on his knees cryin
Buries his face in his hands
His son was dead
A bitter reminder that we don't live for ever
But why put it that way?
It didn't seem fair
No no
-
I sit back, shocked and crying
I've seen someone walk completely away from God
Its just like they were dying
So close, now so far
Dead soul, lost cause
Or is it?
No no
-
No parent should have to bury their child
That's what Theoden said
Not a very comforting thought but
I know God doesn't have to bury his child…
He can bring her back to life instead
If she'll just listen
-
As a Christian my mission
Is to serve God
A fire burns inside me, which I cannot contain
I am not ashamed
I will speak God's name!!!
-
He saved me once
And He can save them too
He wants them
Even when they turn away
-
So I'll listen to God's plans
And carry them out
Should I preach to that same dead soul?
Or move on to the next?
-
Turn off the music
Shut myself in silence
Need to know
Got to know, ohhhhh
-
No parent should have to bury their child
That's what Theoden said
Not a very comforting thought but
I know God doesn't have to bury his child…
He can bring her back to life instead
If she'll just listen
-
He's calling for the dead ones
So dead ones, please listen
While He still calls
-
No parent should have to bury their child
That's what Theoden said
Not a very comforting thought but
I know God doesn't have to bury his child…
He can bring her back to life instead
Life instead
Life
Life beyond death
Eternity
Where will you spend yours?
