Darkness clouds my eyes
Death is coming
Too soon for my liking
Too soon for me to say goodbye
Too soon to kiss my wife one last time
John holds me easily
But his arms are shaking
Shaking with grief
Shaking with anger
Shaking with murderous intent
He wants to kill the Prioress now
But he can't
He shall never harm a woman
I shall never harm a woman
I want to harm this one though
This merciless creature
Who laughs at me
But I cannot
I am too weak
But John can
I cannot let him
I shall not die a hypocrite
I shall not die with woman's blood on my hands
I wish I did not have to die at all
I ask John to take me to the window
To put an arrow to my bow
I ask him to help me shoot it
He does
Good old John
My best friend
A good man
Oh John
Bury me where ever my arrow goes to
I want you to mark it
I want you to bury Marian next to me
I want to lie next to her in the afterlife
When it is her time
I want to meet her up there
Tears come now
I can't stop them
I don't want to die now
I want Marian here next to me
Comforting me
Helping me
Grieving over me
I want to be able to see my grandchildren
But it was not meant to be
John wipes my tears away
Strokes my hair
He comforts me
He helps me
But I can feel his tears on my cheeks along with my own
Death waits for me
And I say farewell
Farewell to you, John
Farewell to Sherwood
Farewell to Marian
Remember me forever
Death is coming
Too soon for my liking
Too soon for me to say goodbye
Too soon to kiss my wife one last time
John holds me easily
But his arms are shaking
Shaking with grief
Shaking with anger
Shaking with murderous intent
He wants to kill the Prioress now
But he can't
He shall never harm a woman
I shall never harm a woman
I want to harm this one though
This merciless creature
Who laughs at me
But I cannot
I am too weak
But John can
I cannot let him
I shall not die a hypocrite
I shall not die with woman's blood on my hands
I wish I did not have to die at all
I ask John to take me to the window
To put an arrow to my bow
I ask him to help me shoot it
