Rue the Day

Ghosting in the background

My last memory

Waiting for the darkness

To come and set me free

Songbirds in the willows

Repeat my soft goodbye

Lying in your still strong arms

Knowing I will die

My darling baby sisters

How much do they know?

Do they see the cruel cold world,

Why I have to go?

Now my eyes are going black

 Please don’t forget my name

My happiness, my love, my life

Are lost in this great game
