All my friends are dying.
All my friends are gone.
I am stood here crying;
How will I carry on?

In Xanadu one day,

And a comely cabernet.

Can't live without love.
Can't love without life.
Can't earn without work,
When the virus is rife.

Before the human flaw of war, is healed,
And all the wanton blood congealed,
Reflective man must never yield,
But pick his fight with sword to wield
