643 : 1/13/00 : The Last Rap (Flesh and Bones: An Homage 90/101)

I don’t mind leaving
I’m not afraid to go
I don’t mind spinning off the coil
It’s only natural
The way of all flesh
ashes to ashes and soil to soil
all I’m really
worried about
Is that last rap on the head
one more shock
the final blow
that sends me evermore to bed
the last rap
an affectionate tap
from the hand of the diligent master
I can’t think of a
better way to go
the dice roll from the hand of the caster
