The Price

The true cost of death is the loss of a soul
floating around houses with nowhere to go
tapping on windows, bouncing on beds
what a waste of time for someone that’s dead

Seventy years alive not achieving ought
then thrashing around dead wandering about
no reflection in a mirror, no smelling of scent
reminder in the garage is a car with a dent

spirit in a bottle, drink in hand
swallow it down then sing with the band
stumble from the pub fall into the car
crash through the tavern with the ornate bar

Mentioned as a person with a good heart
only unlucky the car had to start
a moment of joy, a will to drive home
taking a risk in the vehicle alone

Whisky to stay alive, a minute to die
randomly surprised by a fly in the eye
free to roam in absent abiss 
not a goodbye and no one to kiss

Heavens a gift for those who love life
a passionate faith and loving wife
respect for the living, prayer for the dead
choices were made so lay in your bed.

only a person, fool to be right
sleeping a long way, way into the night
take a prayer for a journey so rough
a road of hell without any love
