May I

Drown me so I can take flight

If Death comes to me,
If Death asks me for my life,
If Death takes my soul,

May I surrender?
May I give in?
May I say yes?

Oh yes, yes, yes

Burn me so I can attain calm

If my Heart is what you want to steal,
If my Essence what you want to gain,
If my Virtue what you want to take,

May I yield?
May I relinquish?
May I say yes?

Oh yes, yes, yes

Kill me so I can rest
