how it ends
hold your grandmother's bible to your breast.
gonna put it to the test.
you wanted to be blessed.
and in your heart,
you know it to be true.
you know what you gotta do.
it all depends on you.
and you already know,
you already know...
how.. this.. will.. end.
there is no escape
from the slave catchers swords.
for all of the loved ones gone
forever's not so long.
and in your soul,
you poked a million holes
but you never let them show.
come on, it's time to go.
you already know,
you already know
how.. this.. will.. end.
now you see His face
and you know that there's a place
in the sun, for all that you've done
for you and your children.
no longer shall you need.
you always wanted to believe.
just ask and you'll recieve.
beyond your wildest dream.
and you already know.
yes, you already know
how.. this.. will.. end.
-Devotchka, How It Ends
After the years roll by, and his hair whitens, and he finally finds sleep, and it becomes abundantly clear that he had nothing else because there's nothing else out there, he'll realize he knew this was coming. It'll be too late, his life will be over. But he'll know. He'll hear the sad violins of this song. These lyrics will roll over his closing credits. And he'll realize he already knew how it ends. He jumped off that cliff, clutching his Bible and his decision, in a grand romantic suicide that lasted his whole life. And at his funeral, we play "How It Ends" because it's the Canon in D of our generation. Death is our weddings. Suicide is passion. Quiting is romance. No one cries because we already knew.
