When the ending comes for me Can I welcome oblivion's kiss Will I embrace my own death
Can it bring me the peace that I crave Sweet salvation I beg of you Disconnect my eyes To drift away from my mind Soulless, empty and dissolute Aware of the end that kisses my face And takes away my pain Touch me, oblivion As the memories fade
As I change from life to death And I pass away from the pain Will I know your face Or remember your name What will the memories bring - Peace and harmony? Will I forget the sorrow And the bitter regret? Do not weep for me As I transcend the flesh To move beyond the hell That I left for you
Nothing but pain is paid for By blood and tears and sacrifice The dark closes in And my destiny descends Velvet enfolds To smother my soul Pushing my mortality away How will I die What will the meanings be to my life With the future untold
I may drink from tears of joy But will I only taste the bitter loss
