Death

I wear my skin, close to my heart
From outside in, ripped clean apart
My soul is lost, my blood runs free
At such great cost, it's there to see

My heart it bleeds, my blood it flows
Onto my sleeve, as my life goes
My voice lies still, silence complete
Now earth and dust, cover my feet

My love is dead, my eyes don't see
My blood runs red, what's wrong with me
My ears don't hear, my hands don't hold
I cry no tear, nor feel the cold

My mouth won't talk, my life bleeds out
My legs won't walk, there is no doubt
I am no more, of that I'm sure
Life closed the door, there is no cure

The time has come, to lay me down
For I am done, upon this ground
This is my end, to one and all
Without a friend, my final call

Time marches on, remember me
For I am gone, not whom you see
My road ahead, is filled with dread
I've lost my head, I'm surely dead
