The Salton Sea

Just a moment to live
The time has come
For me to give up
All I have done

Just one thing to ask
With the time left to breathe
A favor of mercy
That cannot come from a priest

Just a moment to say
Please, God would you hear me?!
Take me from this, that I have made
And lay me down
Lay me down in the salton sea
