Am I Alive?
sunlight glints on broken glass
my soul lies still and tattered
my greatest fears have come to pass
my life in all is shattered.
fall away, right through the pain
Hell's fire burns my heart
death is drenched in freezing rain
a bullseye for the dart.
i close my eyes and wait for sleep
and pray i'll never wake
for love is gone, i'm all alone
my life is god's to take.
clouds gather in the greying sky
determined now to fall
death beckons me; it's time to rest
I listen to his call.
the waves flow over all my dreams
and peace has gone away
my hopes are bursting at the seems
and i am forced to stay.
the pieces fall into their place
the one i was is gone
death's grip grows tight around my face
I will not see the dawn.
My will is gone, I’m all alone
My word is losing grip
The blade is stopped just by the bone
And blood begins to drip.
blood flows down my quaking arm
And light begins to fade
I am taken by the swarm
My final act is made.
steel shines bright, my path is found
it's over, no more pain,
red spatters as it hits the ground
i feel the falling rain
no more darkness, no more pain
i'm finally released
i close my eyes and fade away
and know that i've found peace
