Words of wisdom from a former funeral director to accept the fact that you're gonna die, and so is everyone around you. The sooner you do this, the better for everyone.
The line, "Christ forgives you, forgive yourself" is a tongue-in-cheek jab at Catholic guilt and the rampant hypocrisy in most organized religion.
lyrics
The aim of the game
Is to achieve peace and lasting happiness
Play it well and each day is easier than the one before
Play it poorly and you become yourself a black hole
A gate to hell
Recognize your impermanence
Call Death
Before Death calls you
Christ forgives you
Forgive yourself
Don't waste this time
It's almost up
Call Death
Before Death calls you
Embrace your fear
Like a mother
It will embrace you
In return
Call Death
Before Death calls you
All are born in it
All die in it
Few live in truth
Call Death
Call Death
