The Swan Song

Open up little child
Speak what’s on your mind
Leave your fears behind
I know you were brought up in the wild

Wake up and taste the sweet sorrow
Who knows what come toimmorrow
Maybe a bunch of flowers for you
Could it be a round of agony to blow

Destiny should try to embrace
I’ve never done any disgrace
Now is the time to say goodbye
Because I’m tired of this twisted lullaby

In my life never had I 
Turned a cold shoulder
To any of my brother
Though  sometimes I wonder why

Yeah, sometimes I wake up and taste the sweet sorrow
Now I know what will come tommorrow
I could smell a bunch of flowers for me
The round of  agony I can no longer see

Destiny should try to embrace
I’ve never done any disgrace
Now is the time to say goodbye
Because I’m tired of this twisted lullaby

My dear let me go
I’m no longer a child you know
I’ve grown up this way
Please don’t ask me to stay

Just let me take my final bow
Cause I have to leave this stage now
For now this is really goodbye
I’m giving up this twisted lullaby
