Lay Me Down

Purge these wanton eyes    
Lost gazing at her beauty    
Held visions burnt in stone    
Killing me ever so slowly    
    
Exhume my weary mind    
And cast it out to sea    
Drown it in Holy waters    
Where only the good survive    
    
Lend me your whispered breath    
For mine has been stolen    
A last gasp of indiscretion  
And my soul is now deflated    
    
Chop off my ringing ears    
So I can no longer hear    
The sound of the nightingale    
Seducing me in my mourning  
    
Lay me down and let me die    
This body has cried its last cry    
I wait with time no more  
I bid you all a final goodbye
