Make Haste, O Heart

Make haste, O Heart, O Mind, now bid good bye,
to all that we foolishly thought our own.
My life, in a flash, is passing me by

Foolish Heart, you were reckless, you were sly,
you sneaked him in. Don’t cry now, turn to stone.
Make haste, O Heart, O Mind, now bid goodbye

Free me from clammy shadows, I must fly
higher than an eagle has ever flown.
My life, in a flash, is passing me by

Empty vaults, with treasures never piled high --
Hollowed out heart, alone, always alone.
Make haste, O Heart, O Mind, now bid goodbye

How long must I hear you wistfully sigh
greedy heart, for things you never could own
My life, in a flash, is passing me by

Try and find some meaning - the end draws nigh
Knowing it’s futile, yet, for sins atone.
Make haste, O Heart, O Mind, now bid good bye
My life, in a flash, is passing me by.

Merry Christmas, Nomadicus. You haven't left a URL trail that I could follow, so I must wish you here.
