When yins ye lou are taken awa ,
forever gang intae eternity,
ne,er will ye see them agin,
as eternity is far frae hame.
aye maybes yell see them float by,
in a clear day o sky,
ye can talk tae them when ist yer wont,
but ne,er will ye gain a reply or song,
the kirk it says yell get tae heaven,
where ere yon maybe hidden in cloods,
beyond yer sicht an hid frae hubble ,
an its freends o similar clout.
Oh me freends Eternity is an awfy lang time,
weel beyond oor een an sicht o mine,
aye this life is unfair tae cause sic pain an despair,
tae brek oor herts in a thoosand dauds,
must be workings o hertless gauds.
sae gaither in yer airms yer kith an kin,
tae ignore them aa wid be a sin.
Lou them dearly beyond compare,
dinae mak their hert sair.
Tae hae them leave withoot yer blessing,
wid be tae lose them fur ever mair.
Mak yer peace wi them at war,
offer understauning nae matter
how faur ye hae to travel.

Form: Rhyme
In Sekundenschnelle zerbricht ein Herz
Lautlos, als gäbe es keinen Schmerz
Fühlt sich doch wie ewigkeit an
Den Atemnot bemerkt man dann
Nägel geschlagen in die Kehle
Das Leben rinnt kalt aus der Seele
Das Blut fließt aber ohne Richtung
Das Leere nimmt einem die Sicht und
Niemand sieht's als es geschieht
Bedeutungslosigkit
Dich hineinzieht
