Sing Me a Dirge

Sing me a dirge I pray
Cuz my eyes has loosed sight of the light
Misery has eaten deep into me till I am nothing more but his prey

Sing me a dirge let me cry
So my eyes can look no more to the sky
Sing me the best of that song
Let me dance to it like I were young

Sing me a dirge I pray
Till the sky weep all in fear
Let not her rain of tears 
Wash away my unstopping fears 

Oh sing me a dirge let me try
To do nothing more than to cry
Untangle me not from death's fright
Till I see the heavenly light

Sing me a dirge I pray
So I'll summone the courage to be brave
Suck away all of my strength so I'll embrace nothing but my grave
