Lyrics:
I closed my eyes, and I took my final breath
My fear had left me at the sweet embrace of death
And I got high
I said goodbye
Saw June and Jimmy and Doctor John
They took my body and they held me in their arms
And then they cried
They said goodbye
I saw my fate
I had to face the great unknown
I was scared of being alone
I held on to the things that made my Earthly home
But I'm done
Now I'm letting go
The Earth escaped me as my soul was drawn away
I saw the tribes of man and borderlines decay
We were deceived
But now I'm free
Everlasting nothingness
Existential passion, peace come from beyond
Communion with the stardust
The firmament, creation
Transcendental evolution, inspiration
Deliver me
No self remains, every ego is resolved
There is no sense of being alone
Only benevolence unbounded by the soul
A tale of old
Once more retold
Details: Todd Hawkins and I started writing this song back in late September or early October as one of my Halloween projects, but we didn't finish writing it until after Christmas. Tonight, we finally got around to recording it. Todd is a Reverend by trade, and he was a perfect person to co-write this tune about someone passing on to the great beyond.
