Dies Irae

There is blood on your skin

There is salt in my eyes

And I watch your lips shiver

As you watch me cry

Whispering “Dies Irae, dies Irae”

I see pain on your face

You hear death in my lies

And this hospital room

Is as dark as the night

Crying “Dies Irae, dies Irae”

I can watch no more

As you tremble and cry

I stare at the floor

As your body dies

Singing “Dies Irae, dies Irae”
