Drippety-drop as the lifeblood draws thin,
The last of the crimson withdrawn from within.
The hand is left open, aware of its sin,
As beadlets roll down off its colourless skin.
The mouth is shaped loosely and curved in a smile,
The eyes distance sparks of despair and denial.
The chest is heaved forth, out of breath for a while...
A while eternal, sings metal's sweet guile.
The door is still closed and the body not found,
The slowing red drips reign alone in their sound.
The bath is the world that the sun goes around,
A desolate tombstone, a burial mound.
Drippety-drop as the last sighs are bled,
The onece-azure waters now ripple
Lord, I wish we had lungs
In these smoke riddled streets
Lord, I wish we had hearts
Through this grim egotrip
Hand o'er bosom we pray
To the crushed hopes and dreams
Of our comrades; oh Lord
Bring us back from our sleep.
Adios, my loving city,
We shall never meet again;
Sparkling nights and emerald meadows,
Adios.
Adios, my dear possessions,
Those which never left my side,
And the times we thought were endless,
Adios.
Adios, my greatest friendships,
Times with you were never lost.
One embrace to last a lifetime,
Adios.
Adios, one friend held dearest,
Time to tell the truth has come;
Know that I will always love you...
Adios.
My fingers touch the pale tips
Of keys resounding true;
I played this music once before...
I played this song for you.
And as the notes come pouring out
Their feelings to display,
I see your eyes, a melody
Which tears can't wash away.
