that instant when you die
people around you cry
that is if you're lucky
to have friends and family nearby

that instant that you die
your spirit heaves a sigh
finally, you're out
out to roam the earth and sky

that instant that you die
angels are standing by
to help you transit
from here to the other side

that instant that you die
a loud cry is heard on earth
which wakes the demons
who come to see if you're theirs

that instant that you die
i cannot lie, i smile
in knowing the plan had worked
and now you're gone
and i can live
and learn
and sigh...
that instant that you die...
