Deified (Virgo Power)
mama, I'm not freezing anymore
paper flutters around me like so many moths
my useless brain is gone and soon my eyes will follow
mama, I'm not freezing anymore
chorus:
I'll be reified soon
I'll be deified soon
I will see my gods soon
I'll be with them soon
mama, I'm not hurting anymore
the air is cool and quiet, full of incense
I’m ready for the jars or are they ready for me
mama, I'm not hurting anymore
CHORUS
bridge
the sky is held up by her back
the world around me fades to black
you don't need to agonize for me
I'm in good hands, I'm in good hands now
CHORUS
*outro
I hear them in the darkness without ears
I feel them waiting patiently for me
they will welcome me, they will judge me
and I'm so happy to be dead
I'm so happy to be dead* (repeat to fade)

SpoilerNarrated from the point of view of an Egyptian whose body is being prepared for mummification. (so the paper is the shroud/funeral wrappings and the jars are Canopic jars to hold the organs). the palindrome is in the "guitar" (actually Q-Chord run through a GarageBand filter) riff in the bridge. I forgot what the notes are. If anyone wants to know I can look them up.
