final hours

on the day before we close our eyes

we’ll beg forgiveness for our sins 

and settle up with soothes and lies

 

with heavy heart, make brief good byes

alike with enemies and friends

on the day before we close our eyes

 

for we who know, for what we die 

should gather up our wounds to mend 

and settle up with soothes and lies

 

we’ll spend these moments cutting ties

or mending those with loosened ends 

on the day before we close our eyes

 

kudos to we who know and vie 

to mourn our loss, and so, intend 

to settle up with soothes and lies

 

so at long last we’ll raise our cry

and treasure what we must defend

on the day before we close our eyes 

and settle up with soothes and lies
