For Now Ill Be Brave and Sing You My Death Song

Ive seen the past in the back of my eyes Ive lived mylife reaching toward the skies Memories flash by and make me smile Im looking atthe end that coming in a short while Ive suffered pain and grief enough for two life times So I welcome the angels songs and harp chimes Ill be traveling to heaven here I know I belong For now Ill be brave and sing you my death song Ive tasted the finish but now I fear not God is on my side and I love him alot I have laughed with the reaper as he told me his grim joke Were not old friends but strangely now Im his kinfolk Ive suffered pain and grief enough for two life times So I welcome the angels songs and harp chimes Ill be traveling to heaven here I know I belong For now Ill be brave and sing you my death song I know fullwell that I cannot escape my demise Just acceptmy fate is what everyone has cometo advise For now I exist on the tears of those who weep They give me love and hope that I can forever in my soul keep Ive suffered pain and grief enough for two life times So I welcome the angels songs and harp chimes Ill be traveling to heaven here I know I belong For now Ill be brave and sing you my death song This is for all the people who Ive known and who I dont know that have stared at death and been strong.
