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
