From those around I hear a cry
Oh God oh God my eyes are blind
From those around I hear a cry
A muffled sob, a hopeless sigh
I hear their footsteps leaving slow
And then I know my soul must fly !
A chilly wind begins to blow
Within my soul,from head to toe
And then, last breath escapes my lips
It's time to leave , and I must go !
So, it is true (but it's too late )
They said : " each soul has its given date "
When it must leave it body core
And meet with its eternal fate !
Oh ! Mark the words that I do say
Who knows tomorrow could be your day
At last ! It comes to heaven or hell
Decide which now do not delay !
Come on my brother let us pray !
Decide which now do not delay .
My eyes are blind ! Am I still me
Or has my soul been led astray
And forced to pay priceless fee!
Alas ! to dust we all return
Some shall rejoice while other burn
If only I know that before
The line grew short and came my turn !
And now , as beneath the sod
They lay me ( with my record flawed)
They cry , not knowing I cry worse
For, they go home
I face my God !
Oh ! mark the words that I do say
Who knows ? Tomorrow could be your day
At last , it comes to heaven or hell
Decide which now do not delay!
Come on my brothers let us pray !
Decide which now do not delay !
