I wish to leave the world
By its natural door;
In my tomb of green leaves
They are to carry me to die.
Do not put me in the dark
To die like a traitor;
I am good, and like a good thing
I will die with my face to the sun

Not a good THING!
From guest Leo Kowald (contact)
I want to leave the world
passing by the nature's door
on a chariot of green leaves
they shall carry me to die.
Do not put me like a traitor
to die into the dark.
I am good, and like a good I want to die:
Face to the sun!
