If I died today


 

If I died today

My spirit would pass away.

My bones would turn to dust

Before tomorrow turns to dusk

The moon would still light the night sky

My corpse unnoticed by passersby

The sun would still rise in the east

The world would not change in the least

Maybe a few would miss me here

Shed for me at least one tear

But friendship dies along with my soul

Bonds are broken, love ripped out whole

Don't be a fool and weep for me

Don't you know, I'm finally free?
