Desiderata

I know that death hides in my eyes
 And screams from my song
 I've left the bright lights
 Left for the river without bridges
 Slow and silent
 In it's waters I can dream of peace
 I know of no hope
 Down and into the flood will be my way 

And to my hangman I will bow
 My scaffold will follow me down
 Sing as the soul falls
 Over the water your voice lingers
 Just be by my side
 When the river sweeps my feel away
 Though I gave you no hope
 And all your love I repaid with pain 

I will go down
 Stay with me
 My light is all gone
 Stay with me
