LAST BREATH
From those around
I hear a cry
A muffled sob
A hopeless sigh
I hear their footsteps leaving slow
And then I know my soul must fly
A chilly wind begins to blow
Within my soul from head to toe
And then last breath escapes my lips
It is time to leave and I must go
So it is true but it is too late
They said each soul has its given date
When it must leave its body’s core
And meet with its eternal fate
Oh mark the words that I do say
Who knows tomorrow could be your day
At last it comes to heaven or hell
Decide which now
Do not delay
Come on my brothers
Let us pray
Decide which now
Do not delay
Come on my brothers
Let us pray
Decide which now
Do not delay
Oh God, Oh God, I cannot see
My eyes are blind, am I still me?
Or has my soul been led astray
And forced to pay a priceless fee
Alas to dust
We all return
Some shall rejoice
While others burn
If only I knew that before
The line grew short
And came my turn
And now that beneath the sod
They lay me with my record flawed
They cry not knowing I cry worse
For they go home
I face my God
Oh mark the words that I do say
Who knows tomorrow could be your day
At last it comes to heaven or hell
Decide which now
Do not delay
Come on my brothers let us pray
Decide which now
Do not delay
Come on my brothers
Let us pray
Decide which now
Do not delay
From those around
I hear a cry
A muffled sob
A hopeless sigh
I hear their footsteps leaving slow
And then I know my soul must fly
A chilly wind begins to blow
Within my soul from head to toe
And then last breath escapes my lips
It is time to leave and I must go
So it is true but it is too late
They said each soul has its given date
When it must leave its body’s core
And meet with its eternal fate
Oh mark the words that I do say
Who knows tomorrow could be your day
At last it comes to heaven or hell
