Confession

Farewell, my mother, bid adieu I’m fading now, my time is due In sorrow’s pain my heart must stay So do not weep for me today In this crowd, I can’t fit in A chilling poison in my skin What I once cherished and held tight I’ve ruined now, it’s lost from sight With prideful soul, I passed on by While happiness was always nigh I’ve seen the blood upon the ground And cursed the faith and love I found I’ve downed my drink of all its last My soul now filled with poison's cast And here I fade into the night But now it’s time, I see the light I’ve wiped away the earth’s own mark I rise above the shadows dark Let passion’s slaves continue on — For passion’s grip, my soul has shunned A mad, wild world, a nightmare’s dream Life’s just a sad song, a heavy theme And now I close this life of mine A final hymn, my heart’s design So, mother dear, with troubled heart Please do not weep for me let us part
