Final Heed
Lyrics by Jaystone
Figure out this demise
Secrets of the universe untold
Yeah what the wise men say
What they say to me yeah
Listen to the words of
An old man preaching
Saying to me this wisdom engaging
As I’m enthralled at what I’m told
CHORUS:
Who can compare?
To these forlorn words yeah
Tell me my fortune
My bleak future yeah
What lies ahead for me old man
Tell me, tell me, tell me,
Yeah tell me wise man
Shame bares it’s ugly infamy
A little more everyday
Lines form upon your face
Times are passing by, yeah time passing
Repeat Chorus
Death is but a moment away
Youthful fantasies pass
Gone in a moments gaze
A vapor before your eyes
Pretty flowers mark your grave
Do you feel ever secure now
Life is cold and empty son yeah
As you pass away
Repeat Chorus
Lived life before your time
A lost cause indeed
Forsaken those words I’ve been told
Death come my final heed
Repeat Chorus
