Lament

The time has come to leave this place - never to return
nothing's left but ashes - my body now is spurned
your sorrow will subside in time - my one, true, only friend
there is one thing we can do - to avert this bitter end
Up amongst the stars i dwell - tranquillity is found
i look upon the earth - to which all human life is bound
alone i wander aimlessly - for now my spirit's free
my soul exists within you as i guide your destiny
The tears of grief you weep for me - through uncontrolled
emotion
you have given me your all - a life time of devotion
so come my friend take my hand - together we shall see
the pathways through the darkness - for all eternity
Eternity
