Piper To The End

When I leave this world behind me to another I will go
If there are no pipes in heaven, I’ll be going down below
If friends in time be severed, someday we will meet again
I’ll return to leave you never be a piper to the end

This has been a day to die for, now the day has almost gone
Up above a choir of seabirds turns to face the setting sun

Now the evening dawn is calling and all the hills are burning red
And before the night comes falling, clouds are lined with golden thread

We watched the fires together shared our quarters for a while
Walked the dusty roads together, came so many miles

This has been a day to die on, now the day is almost done
Here the pipes will lay beside me, silent will the battle drum

If friends in time be severed, someday here we will meet again
I return to leave you never, be a piper to the end
