When a man lies he murders some part of the world
These are the pale deaths
Which men miscall their lives
All this I cannot bear to witness any longer
Cannot the kingdom of salvation
Take me home
These are the pale deaths
Which men miscall their lives
All this I cannot bear to witness any longer
Cannot the kingdom of salvation
Take me home

This truly is a masterpiece. It is a lovely piece of music and a great composition which is a fitting piece to commemorate a band mate especially one who was as great a bassist as Cliff. No words they would have written would have matched up to this, true James is a gifted lyricist but I think their emotions where well expressed here.
