Fade away, Flower
Fade away
Lift the darkness
On death's bed lay it
Then fade away, flower
Fade away
Your job is to be done
By you or by one else
Either way, Flower
Just fade away

The author's comments:
I wrote this in inspiration of our lives. We've all got a job to do in life before we die, whether it be conquering the things that taunt us and destroying them, or even helping others. We can do it or others can, but either way, we're all still going to fade, like flowers.
