I know all spirits but my own
curtsey, salute and roundabout
we go by turns but never out
we turn the world away from night
we raise the sun, we bring the light
if we don't act the way we should
too bad for you. We're here for good.

זכרונה לברכה: zichronah liv'rachah, may her memory be for a blessing. It is a traditional reference to the dead, sort of like may s/he rest in peace with more focus on the living. There is a term for these sorts of phrases, but I am brain-dead and cannot remember it. In any case, it is a positive statement.
