Drenched (For Moo's Campfire)

The word I was given was "lachrymose". I had to look it up. It means: inclined to shed many tears

Drenched

Lachrymose were the mourners
Rain drenched their tears
Memories haven't faded
Though on flowed the years

Determined are the living
Pain laced their days
Memories haven't faded
So on the music plays

Resigned are the dying
Faith finds their hearts
Memories haven't faded
To live out their parts

Lachrymose come the mourners
Rain soaks their tears
Memories still not faded
Though on flow our years
