The End
THE END
When the jaws of death
Snatch up your loved one
The only thoughts
Suitable for the moment
Are ’****! Bloody hell!
She wasn’t even ready yet,
I wasn’t really done with him’
But you can’t cry them out loud
So you just go on and let
Them hot tears flow.
When the claws of death
Grab up your dear one
The only feelings
Suitable for the moment
Are’ why me, oh! Why me
So many words and joys
Left over for us to share!’
But you can’t scream them out loud
So you just go on and let
Them hot tears flow.
When the shadow of death
Swallows up your beloved
The only words
Suitable for the moment
Are’ he gives beauty for ashes’
Strength for fear
Gladness for mourning
Peace for despair’
These you can sing out loud as
You let them hot tears flow,
