How will it be to die tonight
will I rebel it will all my might
or will I give myself to the white light
will i laugh, will i smile, will i shake or will i fright
oh how will it be to die tonight

Did I make enough people laugh, smile
Did I make them feel like they matter, even if for a little while
My dreams, my ambitions, my plans so brave
All now find their silence in a grave
How do i know if i have lived right
How will it be to die tonight

My parents, my kids and my friends
Will they pretend, i didnt deserve this end
will they sob or will they carry pride
that i stood tall to every high tide
my girl, my heart, my love
the arms i pray to lean upon
the reason i long for one more dawn
Will I run from her, or will i hug her tight
How will it be to die tonight

Bigger men than me have come and gone
forgotten in memory, remembered in songs
"do not go gentle into that good night" they say
May death invite me, not drag me away
i feel my fingers trembling, as i write
Oh, how will it be to die tonight
