any second now...

May the angels lead you into
Paradise, may the Martyrs receive
you at your coming, and take you to
Jerusalem, the holy city. May the
choirs of the Angels receive you,
and may you with the once poor
Lazarus, have rest everlasting...
Amen

That prayer appears on my father's memorial card. I picked it partly because my grandfather's name is in it (Lazaro), and mostly because it reminded me of the following song by Jimmy Eat World. It's a very beautiful song, and when I read the card...I hear this song in the background:

Hear You Me

There's no one in town I know
You gave us some place to go
I never said thank you for that
I thought I might get
One more chance

What would you
Think of me now
So lucky, so strong, so proud?
I never said thank you for that
now I'll never have a chance

May angels lead you in
Hear you me my friends
On sleepless roads
The sleepless go
May angels lead you in

So what would you
Think of me now
So lucky, so strong, so proud?
I never said thank you for that
now I'll never have a chance

May angels lead you in
