Now has come the time to reflect on life well spent Music people travels and what it all has meant- dead in ten Fulfilled beyond compare in a truly sordid past I have come to terms that life will not last- dead in ten Dead in ten, I’ll be dead in ten When the final time has come to rest my weary head No funeral procession or viewing that I am dead I wish to be burned and all the ashes put to sod Knowing while alive I cursed and denied your God I'll be dead in ten I'll be dead in ten This is not a prophecy or a vision in a dream It is just the way of life some things are what they seem- dead in ten To live a life of wonder and accept the end is near Is not nihilistic: death is nothing to fear- dead in ten Dead in ten, I'll be dead in ten
