"Am I Born To Die" lyrics

"Am I Born To Die"

And am I born to die?
To lay this body down
And must my trembling spirit fly
Into a world unknown?
And must my trembling spirit fly
Into a world unknown?

A land of deepest shade
Unpierced by human thought
That weary region of the dead
Where all things are forgot

Soon as from Earth I go
What will become of me?
Eternal happiness or woe
Must then my portion be
