Piper to the End
Piper's Journey: A Melodic Odyssey of Life and Beyond
Lyrics
When I leave this world behind me
Contemplating leaving the world
To another I will go
Expressing the transition to another realm
If there are no pipes in heaven
Raising the possibility of heaven without bagpipes
I'll be going down below
Suggesting the speaker's potential descent to a less heavenly place
If friends in time may severe
Speculating on the separation of friends over time
Someday we will meet again
Anticipating a future reunion with friends
I'll return to leave you never
Promising eternal loyalty and never leaving
Be a piper to the end
Committing to being a piper until the end
This has been a day to die for
Reflecting on a significant and memorable day
Now the day has almost done
Noting the completion of the day
Up above a choir of seabirds
Observing seabirds turning towards the sunset
Turns to face the setting sun
Depicting a tranquil and beautiful evening scene
The evening dawn is calling
Describing the onset of evening
And all the hills are burning red
Depicting the red glow of hills at sunset
And before the night comes falling
Anticipating the arrival of night
Clouds are lined with golden thread
Describing clouds adorned with a golden thread
We watched the fires together
Recalling shared experiences of watching fires
Shared our quarters for a while
Having companionship and shared living spaces
Walked the dusty roads together
Remembering journeys taken together
Came so many miles
Highlighting the distance covered
Well today's a day to die on
Labeling the current day as significant
Now the day is almost done
Noting the end of the day
Here the pipes will lay beside me
Indicating the placement of bagpipes beside the speaker
Silent will the battle drum
Emphasizing the silence of the battle drum
If friends in time may severe
Reiterating the potential separation of friends over time
Someday here we will meet again
Expressing hope for a future reunion
I return to leave you never
Reaffirming the commitment to never leave
Be a piper to the end
Pledging to be a piper until the end
