Murder Song

as he sits
on the moor
with his new found friend
who had shown
him the way
to bow out in de end
with a dignity only
a murder can bring
with sweet violation
that versatile thing
please believe me
when i say
this is how it has to end
this is easy
on us all
well easier than other ways
sleep is all
i ask of you
sleep and not to wake again
see this through
and leave my friend
tears will come and i will end
while i hope
you all miss me
and weep at my grave
i imagine
you'll pray some
and give hope to the brave
to the ones who
have loved me
and cared for me so
and who die
when i tell them
i just had to go
please believe me
when i say
this is how it has to end
this is easy
on us all
well easier than other ways
sleep is all
i ask of you
sleep and not to wake again
see this through
and leave my friend
tears will come and i will end
