It was the cold sweat
The last breath
The only questions we have left
Oh how can it go down like this
Before we drift away
But tell me how can it go down like this
Before i get to say
Please take me swiftly
Cuz i won't wait the reaper
Who takes me to the waters
Won't pay the boatman
And i can't take the pressure
Of the river rolling over
Can't swim to dry land
So make my time come quickly
Please take me swiftly
No sickness
Don't you burn me down, no
Don't tease ?our pains ladders?
Frozen like a ?medic? picture
In a healthy frame of mind
And remember mother's separate wishes
Of the world we leave behind
Please take me swiftly
Cuz i won't wait the reaper
Who takes me to the water
Won't pay the boatman
And i can't take the pressure
Of the river rolling over
Can't swim to dry land
So make my time come quickly
Please take me swiftly
La la la la la la la la
Please take me swiftly
Cuz i won't wait the reaper
Who takes me to the waters
Won't pay the boatman
And i can't take the pressure
Of the river rolling over
Won't swim to dry land
So make my time come quickly
Please take me
