The Heathen’s Song

279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aElMihDcm
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIUJKZWfbP

Oh friends, my friends, the end’s the end,

So mend spirits; let love hear it.

One day, the day unforeseen,

Will come like a red rising sun.

279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBe01jjSkNK

Little demons, my cretins,

Reaper, Reaper, why the sweet grin.

279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqE7iNSWbl9

He said to me, a bitter dream,

“Oh friend, my friend, the end’s the end…”

279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMaUBAsAD9

I think I need another drink,

Someone pass me up a cigar.

279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxBmVvUEHB

Oh friend, my friends, the end’s not far,

So mend spirits; let them hear it.

One day, that day so desolate,

Will dawn on unfair requisites.

279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OLUVqt4Yh

Goodbye! Goodbye! My shining light!

In broken hearts lies your reprieve.

279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTHXq3Bpzs

Goodbye! Goodbye! My guide-star!

In my mind you will never leave!

279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqd9MsOzlh6

Oh friend, my friends, the end’s the end…

Death doesn’t undue what he has done.

He never play games or pretends,

He cares not if you’re old or young.

279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9caqtG63Wh

Reaper! Reaper! Took my sister.

Why, Why, Did the Devil seek her?

279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ThoQx5o19

We all must die… I… I suppose.

When we go though not a soul knows.

279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbiCAGlrnY

Oh friends, my friends… the end’s the end…

So blend and blear the line with beer,

One day, that day, will soon appear,

For you or for the ones you find dear. 

279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFRnt6Iw58

So why not dance! Finish a drink,

Exchange a glance, forget to think,

Enjoy this time we get to spend.

279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdb92vWdHU

The moments now, dancing with me,

With the Devil in her blue eyes.
