L.O.R.D

Last Rites

L.O.R.D


One flash - I see my life in front of me 
One crash - it's fading from my mind 
A journey incomplete, I was brought back from the light 
Is this a destiny of fire? 

How can this be? 
I'm lying in front of me 
Family and friends are gathered around 
I scream 
But no one can can hear me 
Surrounded by people I know but so alone... 

I'm watching from the other side 
Bound to this flesh that clings to life... To life... 

Can't return - beyond the help of anyone 
Can't move on - so much is left undone 
Can't break out - set me free 
So do what must be done - How can I make you see? 

So many days here by my side 
So many nights I sit and cry 
Can you see me? 
Can't you hear me call your name? 

Sometimes I'm sure that you can see 
It's like you're staring (back at me) 
But you walk away, walk away... 
Oh, can't you hear my cries? 

I see the world in a different light 
I hear the words of those that think they have the right 
The right to make a choice that isn't theirs to make 
Playing God 
They can never hope to ever understand... 

Pull the plug, flick the switch 
Let me leave this life of hell 
Let me die in my own way - it's my right 

They say it's wrong - they can't see 
They'd do the same if they were me 
It's time to set me free... 

It's time to go 
It's time to leave - it's time to say goodbye 
It's time to go 
It's time to leave - and walk into the light 

It's time to go 
You will know I'll be waiting for you on the other side 
It's time to go 
It's time to leave - goodbye.....
