Take this lifetime from me now
For I no longer can allow
Yesterday to be my plight,
My farewell into the night.
The chanting seas, the morning breeze,
The gentle touch of careless ease
The beauty of eternity
How could you be so cruel to me?
I see undying skies afloat
Embrace the sweet November note
We left out there to die in vain
As I now try to stand again.
I gaze upon the mystery
Of what it was you meant to me
Of tears I now shed quietly
Regretting what will never be.
You never said, beloved friend
That I would suffer in the end!
That I would have to face alone
This universe of dark unknown
This solemn fate of agony
This everlasting misery
This bitter cry for harmony
That slowly eats away at me.
Announce my parting, I will bow
Take this lifetime from me now.
