Here is your crown
And your seal and rings;
And here is your love
For all things.
.
Here is your cart,
And your cardboard and piss;
And here is your love
For all of this.
.
May everyone live,
And may everyone die.
Hello, my love,
And my love, Goodbye.
.
Here is your wine,
And your drunken fall;
And here is your love.
Your love for it all.
.
Here is your sickness.
Your bed and your pan;
And here is your love
For the woman, the man.
.
May everyone live,
And may everyone die.
Hello, my love,
And my love, Goodbye.
.
And here is the night,
The night has begun;
And here is your death
In the heart of your son.
.
And here is the dawn,
(Until death do us part);
And here is your death,
In your daughter's heart.
.
May everyone live,
And may everyone die.
Hello, my love,
And my love, Goodbye.
.
And here you are hurried,
And here you are gone;
And here is the love,
That it's all built upon.
.
Here is your cross,
Your nails and your hill;
And here is your love,
That lists where it will.
.
May everyone live,
And may everyone die.
Hello, my love,
And my love, Goodbye.
.
