A Ghosts Final Hour
It is the stars that will cry at this hour,
here I am, pouring my heart out.
Brilliant, is the perfect watch tower,
with a heavy heart, I do doubt.
Here I am, pouring my heart out,
to this world, just a ghost.
With a heavy heart, I do doubt,
an unseen life, leaning against the post.
To this world, just a ghost,
unconsciously, rising above the flame.
An unseen life, leaning against the post,
as a picture, without a picture frame.
Unconsciously, rising above the flame,
all my works here, done in the past.
As a picture, without a picture frame,
the memories of my life, will outlast.
All my works here, done in the past,
brilliant, is the perfect watch tower.
The memories of my life, will outlast,
I shall be remembered, in my final hour.
