lyrics

And on the day of my demise
I'd wish not to lie beneath your mortal eyes
for only sorrow can they bring
I'd much prefer nature's great consistencies
such as the sky, the earth, the wind, the trees
for they do not cry, nor mourn, nor do they weep
nor are they surprised.

And when the solemn angel comes
I will be ready to depart
Deliver my spirit to the sun
that I might shine down on all I've left behind
for they too will come to join me in the sky
I leave you this song so that it will remind
when you look at the sky, you'll still feel my eyes

Give back my body to the earth
please give my poems to all humanity
Give my possessions to my enemies
For surely they only serve to tie you down
To anchor your soul to this unholy ground
And now as I pass I see how pointless it was to desire
fuel for the fire.

And on this darkest night of sleep
it would mean more if you would realize
though I'm beyond your mortal reach
deep in your heart my soul is still alive
and it will be there until the day you die
then you'll ascend to join me in the sky
and we will be one... We will be one.
