His Last Words

[brujah_barkeep]

Should I have known from the beginning
This day would not be an ordinary one?
Sure there’s been danger, lots of running
But things have gone too far
And now it seems my time is done
Punch the clock and start the countdown
'Cause I’m ’bout to blast away
Cells ignite
Blinding light
Who’ll be left when I am done?
Oh, that is all part of the fun

Think of it as a change of wardrobe
Though the outcome I cannot foretell
A whole new set of quirks and customs
And you’ll never know
What I may pin on my lapel
Every era has its ending
But time rolls on, and so much I
No, don’t cry
While there’s life
There is something new to see
Wouldn’t you know?
Right now that something new is me

I who am about to die salute you
You were fantastic and so was I
It’s an end
But it’s not the end
It’s the process that allows me
And my adventures to survive
And I am feeling so alive
