Death Approaches Slowly

death approaches slowly
ghosts are moaning
first a darkness takes the night
then a darkness takes the morning
and i can feel it all
coming to a bitter end

life like i'm locked up
death like abandonment


when we're closing in on the white light
i want your nightmares to be mine
just before i die, lay by my side
see the love and terror in my eyes
it's what has been in my heart my whole life


death such as this
will always be around
it just comes from the darknes
to take you now
it will find you somehow
there ain't no way out

fuck it,
they will find me come morning
my belly to the sky
and the world wide open
as if god had spoken

"it's a long way to hell,
but it's longer to heaven."
