My friend the time has come for us to say goodbye

So with these parting words I bid you farewell

It seems the life we led was just a shameful lie

What does the future hold? Well only time will tell



I'm not scared of dying and I don't really care

If it's peace you find in dying well then let my time be near

If it's peace you find in dying when dying time is here

Bundle up my coffin, 'cos it's cold down there



And when I'm dead

And when I'm gone

There will be one child born

And a world will carry on



Some say our fate is sealed and help to tie the knot

Some say that this may be the lull before the storm

But there's one piece of nature everyone's forgot

And that's, "The darkest hour is always before the dawn!"



When the candle burns low

When there's no more to say

Dig me a hole

Where my body might lay
