[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 and 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:]

Oh... what is this?

I can’t take you down!

This cannot be!

No one defies me!

[Diegu:]

I’ve never felt so 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
