• When Strength of arm has lost to time,
    When strength of mind falls to riddle and rhyme,
    When strength of heart whithers to woman's whine,
    My soul will fade from this body of mine.

    It flies away in to divine wind,
    In soil and cinder, my flesh lay behind;
    It crawls, lifeless, through dirt, skin splits, bones grind;
    Forgive me, of Lord, for all I've sinned.

    When strength of valor flees from fear,
    When strength of hope shrivels into tear,
    When strength of wil wears away, it's clear
    That our life is fading...the end is near.

    The shadows will open where the grim one sleep.
    It wakes to moonlight, as we to our sun, to reap
    The souls of us all while we slumber like sheep,
    So pray now to God your soul to keep.

    Though, should you die before you wake,
    Best pray to God your soul to take
    Before you dream, for your own sake
    Or be pulled to Hell, that fiery lake.

    When strength of balance topples down,
    When strength of joy, comes to frown,
    When strength of lung, begins to drown,
    We'll fall like Jack, who broke his crown.

    For all of those who share faith,
    We'll someday find a tunnel of radiant white;
    It will ward of darkness with haven's safe,
    Blinding, yet soft, like morning's light.

    When strength of reality becomes pretend,
    When strength of tradition fades to a trend,
    The strength His word will not bend
    nor will my voice that sees no end...
