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
