The Day Has Come

The Day has come to end it all
The Time is here; I'm doomed to fall
The Hour is near, the knife goes deep
My body's now a bloody heap

Forever have I waited for
The knife to plunge into my core
I feel the metal going in
And think about what could have been

Colors fade and lights go low
The end is near, of this I know
The pain burns like a white-hot fire
The flames of which climb higher and higher

Inside I feel a different flame
Eternally burning the same
My breath betrays me, this I feel
The final breath, my fate will seal

The welcome pull of death comes near
Pain lessens now, I think I hear
Some little sound, but hear it grow
What plauges my ears, I do not know

But all now fades away with life
The end of worry, the end of strife
Sweet silence comes and takes my hand
And leads me to a far-off land.
