When I Die

When I close my eyes to death And when I take my final breath I will hold time itself in my hands And when by body is laid to rest And I embark on my final quest I will ride the echoes that cross the lands I will spread my wings and fly away And rage to seize this final day While I touch the ember stars in the sky My thriving shadow leads the way And there are no more words to say It is the secret rhythm that lives after we die
