Day to Die

A click of the lens in my mind’s eye
A growing shadow fills the sky
A circling bird from the other side
To take my soul for one last flight
I can see this is not my day to die

Of all the times you could have taken me
When I was lost and lonely
But you stayed and waited for my happiness
And now I give my life for this
Please believe me this is not my day to die

Talk to my love when you see her
The days we shared will not be over
I did what everyone expected
A life in a raven’s eyes reflected
I can see this might be my day to die

When all of the people here are counted
Did we ever believe that we could end it?
Oh I gave you my life and all that’s in it


And whenever they tell you how I need you
I wanted to love you and to feed you
I can’t believe in the end I had to leave you
