Xystus - Act 1 Sc. 5: Last Breath songtekst
Je score:
[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
