Everything will soon turn black,
so here's my letter.

To get it off my chest.

Promise father, don't look back,
it's not for the better.

Hear you little brother me,

What's wrong with being free from pain?

Be strong and live your lives like I never could.

To hell!? Don't think you go there twice.

      Bm
So Farewell...
