Midnight whispers fade into fear Terrified of what will be Visions of the end pulse in my head A desolate future I'll never see The barren waste that is my life Before me collapses A living, decaying corpse Now present in my abscence Crying out to the sky Empty soul in an emptier world One more day to get by Pretending life has a meaning for me Seems the harder I try The more dreams slowly slip from my grasp Losing the race against time Buried alive, corroding within Seven thousand days I've bled The crimson trail of nothing My rotting heart sliced open Filling the grail of regret Each day I feel all hope is lost Drowned in Time's abyss Grave mistakes devour light Serve my time in darkness In idle hands my devil's conceived A stagnant pool of waste Fingers point beyond the man Inside a soul disgraced I don't want to be forgotten And I don't want to die alone I wish that I could go to heaven But I know I probably won't I know that I can't live forever So until that fatal breath I just can't help wonder Is there more to life than death Tearful, I wait for the thief in the night A lonely, black death, my epitaph trite Erase from the record no more will I be This body will rot, now nothing is me
