Ballad of a New Moon
Robert Warrington
A bit of straightforward repurposing. The Javolenus track with Martijn’s bass, percussion by Stefan and guitars by unreal dm, plus some extra guitar by Stefan or Gerhard Kohlmeier (not sure which).
In whatever way I die
By terrorism or by crime
By something falling out of the sky
By slow decay over time
Let fire turn me into ash
Scatter my ashes wherever you wish
But no service please of any kind
Just be kind to me in your mind
I don’t need a eulogy
I’m not looking for a plaque
I’m never going to know or see
If my name is written in the book
I hope you make it to the stars
That you save the planet and terraform Mars
No service please of any kind
Just be kind to me in your mind
All that old time religion stuff
Don’t drag me into all of that
Some fantasy of afterlife
Baby I don’t believe a word of it
Baby when you’re gone you’re gone
I won’t be looking down and I won’t be looking on
No service please of any kind
Just be kind to me in your mind
In whatever way I die
By terrorism or by crime
By something falling out of the sky
By slow decay over time
Let fire turn me into ash
Scatter my ashes wherever you wish
But no service please of any kind
Just be kind to me in your mind
I don’t need a eulogy
I’m not looking for a plaque
I’m never going to know or see
If my name is written in the book
I hope you make it to the stars
That you save the planet and terraform Mars
No service please of any kind
Just be kind to me in your mind
All that old time religion stuff
Don’t drag me into all of that
Some fantasy of afterlife
Baby I don’t believe a word of it
Baby when you’re gone you’re gone
I won’t be looking down and I won’t be looking on
No service please of any kind
Just be kind to me in your mind
