#lastdays
Smile with a touch
Growl an innate hunger
Climb the pillar
To see
At the cropped top
Lies the crown
Thorny and sublime
Creation bows
Zeus sings
Cries of Osiris
Echo his name
Pulling away the enchantment
Veils tear
Truth gleaming fourth
Constricted scrawls on papyrus
He is here
Setting us free
Throwing down shackles
The sun has risen
Nero has sung
Peter languishes in torment
First a laugh
Another kiss
A second betrayal
True to the construct
Doom is here
Armageddon begins

My days are counting down
I am almost done can't mess up now
These years have flew by From Freshman To Senior
But I ask myself have I been a great leader
Have I made a difference over these years
Have I helped those I love heal all of their tears
I ask myself as these last days fall
Did I really stand proud and tall
Did I do what was right
Corrected all my wrongs
I am about to be rewarded for these twelve years
that lasted so so long
As these last days are falling
I can finally say
I can be free at last from

It’s the end of the world, as we know it
So hurry, hold me close and we can slow it
Beneath a burning sky, lets hold the other
Forget the fights and heartaches, my lover
Meet me down that alley, where we first met
where the fire hasn’t spread there yet
Let us speak the things that remain unsaid
and sit our hearts down, inside our head
Can I call you ‘my wife’, before the end?
There may not be a morrow, but we can pretend
Let’s find a church before they’re burned to the ground
Make our vows before the sky falls down
Take my hand and run through the streets
Sing our love before the chaos proceeds
Play the tune that we’ll always remember
dance beneath a red moon, now or never
The world may think we're a little mad
yet, it’s the best of days we’ve ever had
You and I, my love, are forever
it’s not over till we’re over

HEAR the quiet sea
SEE the man looking for me
ME hiding from him
HIM with simple eye
AYE his words I hear
HEAR the quiet sea
THINK the time has come
COME take life's water free
FREE yourself from sin's grip
GRIP hold of the real life
LIFE everlasting at last
LAST days require us to think
THINK the time has come
LISTEN to words inspired and true
TRUE faith follows the thing heard
HEARD faith without works is dead
DEAD we are to our former sins
SINS forgiven by means of Christ
CHRIST one to whom we must listen
LISTEN to words inspired and true

One year has slipped away,
Another hurries close behind,
And school, once warm and bright,
No longer sets the heart alight.
We’ll long remember that first ringing bell,
When we, with clumsy hands, were taught to draw
The snow-white house where Taras Shevchenko fell
In love with freedom’s call.
Again the tears come rushing like a stream,
Again my mother holds my hand so tight,
But I don’t wish to bring those days back —
Let them live forever in memory’s light.
Останні дні
Ось рік минув,
За ним іще один поспіє,
А школа в нашому житті,
Вже більше серця не зігріє.
Ми довго будем пам’ятати,
Той перший наш дзвінок,
Коли нас вчили малювати,
Шевченкову біляву хату.
І знову сльози потекли рікою,
І знову матір йде за руку зі мною,
Але не хочу повертати дні,
Нехай у пам’яті залишаться вони!
