Deathless heart that will not wake
Will not shatter
Will not break
Thy soul shall gleam thy midnight’s dream
‘Continue still through moonlit beam
The children gather and wonder still
O’er crest of mountain ‘n lofty hills,
Where thy soul lies evermore
‘Place of where death shows the door
Here there lies forever mine
My love, my life and sleeping bride
the haunted place of failing pride
And mournful sounds throughout the night
that marr my soul both touch and sight
And as the burning fire dies down
I set my goals and futures bound
And lay my body slowly down
‘Bloodless eyes turn white to gray
‘Leaving here; to get away
Through hell or heaven
I’ll journey there
and eventually I’ll be
with you.
