The song of the raven
Gives word of a haven
Beyond all that meets the eye
Destiny's kisses
Are misery's misses
My life like the water floats by

And it's curious
And it's lovely
It's a musical way to die
And it's comely
And it's holy
It's a beautiful way to die

The song of the river
Brings upon me a shiver
As I gaze to the open sky
A moment of clarity
A whisper of sanity
A soul that is learning to fly

And it's careless
And it's quiet
It's a stoical way to die
And it's restful
And it's tranquil
It's a beautiful way to die

Lie by the stream
As my life becomes dream
And the birds come to bid me good bye
The wings of a dove
Beating softly above
It's a beautiful way to die

And it's curious
And it's a lovely
It's a wonderful way do die
And it's comely
And it's holy
It's a beautiful way to die...
