Alas



Alas that you shall not ride on silver winds again

That you cannot be forgiven for all your sins again

That sunrise's shall not find you in lover's arms

That no one could protect you from evil's seductive charms

Alas that you'll never laugh, love or cry again

That happiness will endlessly pass you by again

That day's go by and your spirit does not greet them

That when your family is home you won't be able to meet them

Alas that you cannot ask to be forgiven again

That you cannot ever be amongst the living again

That you can never again smile at those you love

That you'll have to be content with watching them from above
