The Stage is empty

Your story has unfolded

The hallways no longer

Echo your name

The candles have burned

The crowds dispersed

But things will never be the same

You memory

Is forever carved

On the tombstone of time

An epitaph

That will love forever

In all of our minds

So good-bye

The story is finally over

You’ve finally found a home

The screams have died

The lights have faded

The stage is empty; alone

Good-bye

From all your ‘children’

Your memory will never die

We know you play eternally

In that Rock ‘n’ Roll heaven

In the sky
