The Last Testament - The Arrivals

You may wait until the end to know your story

You may find this final trip quite mundane and boring

You can wait until the end for any celebration

Of the short life that you’ll live

Or the good that will endure

You may wait until the end to ask what love’s for

Hold out to the end in hope of some great encore

You may wait until the end

It won’t be long

You may anticipate the end with great devotion

You may worship and defend a source to every motion

You may bargain and pretend that all the little favors

Will be worth the trouble then

And promise something more

You may wait until the end to count your blessings

Hope until the end that the work was worth investing

You may wait until the end

But then you’re gone

You may plot right to the end with careful measure

Grasp tight to the end, preserving all your treasure

You may curse at what you’ve had to do

Regret what you’ve been missing

Be bound to what you’ve done

And ask for nothing more

You may wait until the end to say you were mistaken

Hate right to the end to accept the path you’ve taken

You may wait until the end

It won’t be long
