Xystus - Act 1 Sc. 5: Last Breath lyrics

rate me

Diegu:]

This is it...

My life is frail and bruised

I've never known what others knew

But now I know - what's left to do?

I've followed my path

Through sour & sweet

Travelled along without questioning all

I've been told...

Guided by faith

[Diegu, Death:]

Look at me

And see my eyes being dimmed

Grab my hand

I'm not sure I can withstand

[Death:]

Some tend to give while others take

It matters not: there is no escape

[Diegu:]

All that remains is for me to die

To follow through to the other side

[Death:]

Aaargh... What is this?

I can't take you down!

This cannot be!

No one defies me!

[Diegu:]

I've never felt more alive:

Rising up in front of Death's eyes

[Diegu, Death:]

Grab my hand

And feel my strength within

Look at me

And we see a new beginning

[Diegu:]

I seldom smile,

Often I cry...

The sour-sweet of tears, seldom I taste

My lips are dry

When Death passed me by

It flashed before my eyes

I've seen how we will thrive

My heart is filled with hope

I won't be overthrown

I must not feel afraid - oh no I won't!

[Death:]

It is I who holds the Sceptre of Death

Heed my words

[Diegu:]

I will smother

Your very last breath
