Help

Now, I got my soul
Earth gave me a blow
Like the drowning stone
I hit far depths
A feeling of death

Around are a million folks
On their watch, a helpless choke!
For my hands, I stretched
Alas! no one it met
A wicked agony I felt

Now, I lost my soul
In grief, a party they throw
Billions, the blood that shows
Few are those I know
A final salute for my toast?
A funny ridicule to the ghost!
