Requiem Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Man watching video
The heart keeps on ticking
He doesn't know why
He's just cattle for slaughter

[Chorus]
The requiem
The requiem
The requiem

[Verse 2]
When the meaningful words
When they cease to function
When there's nothing to say
When will it start worrying you?

[Chorus]
The requiem
The requiem
The requiem

[Verse 3]
Only a hint of religion
I'm sensing spirits of depravity
The sound of breaking glass
This is the reflection
[Chorus]
The requiem
The requiem
The requiem

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
