If I fall into darkness:

Please light a candle for me.

And if my eyes are blinded:

Please whisper so I may see.

And if I start to shiver:

Wrap me beneath my cloak.

And if I embrace cold death:

Please pay the coin for my boat.

And if I pass unknown:

To the ethereal shores—

And if my body remains:

Please burn me to my core.

And if the ashes take flight:

Please light a candle for me.

For I was a blinded man

Who never thought to be free.
