HOWL


If my time here has come to and end

When my scars and wounds can no longer mend

When the win of each battle becomes a Godsend

If my family no longer lacks the will to go on

When they fear my presence is gone

When they see my eyes close and howl their song

Breathe

Breathe for all that I stood for

Breathe for all that I happened to be

Breathe for all the memories that are nevermore

Breathe because of me

Live

Life will continue and keep moving

Life in time will be more soothing

Just don't lose sight of what's really important

Don't grieve too much over what has been lost

Don't depress over a life that was shortened

Don't sadden over what my sacrifice cost

Fight

Fight for everything that was ever right

Fight for the future's sight

Fight with all your might

Promise

Promise me you will go on until the end

I will give you all the strength that I may lend

So promise me to howl your song

Bid to me a respectful farewell

But even though I'm dead and gone

You will carry on
