Men Shall Be As Scattered Moths
So we will meet again, I pray my dear when men shall be as scattered moths. I wish to meet again, I pray my dear when mountains shall be as carded wool.
Time to wear your final cloth
We will meet again, I pray my dear
When men shall be as scattered moths
With grief and sorrow my heart is full
We will meet again, I pray my dear
When mountains shall be as carded wool
Our deeds as our companion
Books of our life in our hands
When all souls will be reckoned
Great rocks will turn to sand
Before you head to paradise
Find me before you leave
Just one look will suffice
To enjoy your company
With your measure of good deeds heavy
You will find me amongst the crowd
I hope this reunion will be
When you see me, I hope you’re proud
This world is a cage for those who believe
You’re relieved, completely free
But ’til I see your face once more
My spirit will not find peace
So we will meet again, I pray my dear
When men shall be as scattered moths
I wish to meet again, I pray my dear
When mountains shall be as carded wool
