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

In eternity
