Last Breath by Ahmed Bukhatir

From those around
I hear a cry
Oh God
Oh God
My eyes are blind

From those around
I hear a cry
a muffled sob
a hopeless sigh
I hear the footsteps
leaving slow
and then I know
my soul must fly

A chilly wind
begins to blow
within my soul
from head to toe
and then
last breath
escapes my lips
it's time to leave
and I must go

so it is true
but it's to late
they said
"each soul has its given date"
when it must leave 
its body's core
and Meet
with its Eternal Fate

Oh mark the words
that I do say
who knows 
tomorrow could be your day
at last
it comes to Heaven or Hell
Decide Which Now 
Do Not Delay

Come on my brothers
let us Pray
Decide Which Now
Do Not Delay

Come on my brothers
let us Pray
Decide Which Now
Do Not Delay

Oh God
Oh God
I cannot see
my eyes are blind
am I still me
or has my soul
been led astray
and forced to pay
a priceless fee

alas to dust
we all return
some shall rejoice
while others burn
if only I knew that before
the line grew short
and came my turn

and now
as beneath the sod
they lay me
with my record flawed
they cry
not knowing I cry worst
for they go home
I face my God

Oh mark the words
that I do say
who knows
tomorrow could be your day
at last 
it comes to Heaven or Hell
Decide Which Now
Do Not Delay

Come on my brothers
let us Pray
Decide Which Now
Do Not Delay

Come on my brothers
let us Pray
Decide Which Now
Do Not Delay
