Wail Not When I Die

Wail not when I die Spare your tears, spare your lies Enjoy yourself to the fullest when I cry Swallow your lies in the sties alongside the fake ties In your hearts you never meant When in your hearts of stone All you sent and spent Glorified your tone of utter scorn Poured at will Concealed from men and women Until Your pen insane and inane Wrote the sneer and leer Hearts of rock Clear in their crocodile tear The truth could no more block when the clock Chimed time up For me to go To take the last sip from the poisoned cup I couldn’t forgo As to your world of sorrow I bid farewell Because the secret of tomorrow Belongs to God who says it is well that ends well at the knell of his bell.
