as he sits on the moor
with his new found friend
who had shown him the way
to bow out at the end
with a dignity only
a murder can bring
with sweet violation
that versatile thing

please believe me when i say
this is how it has to end
this is easy on us all
well easier than other ways
sleep is all i ask of you
sleep and not to wake again
see this through and leave my friend
tears will come and i will end

while i hope you all miss me
and weep at my grave
i imagine you'll pray some
and give hope to the brave
to the ones who have loved me
and cared for me
and who die when i tell them
i just had to go

please believe me when i say
this is how it has to end
this is easy on us all
well easier than other ways
sleep is all i ask of you
sleep and not to wake again
see this through and leave my friend
sears will come and i will end
