lyrics

I am but a speck of dust
Caught in the winds of time
Just one breath away from dying
My time has come
I'm ready to take flight

How I long to close my eyes
This is the end
I have to die
There is no escape

Now as never before I feel that I'm alive
My heart is filled with love
Yet I have to die

I embrace my fate
I'm leaving you
Please forgive me
But I have to let go

Only you can breathe life into me
I need to hold you
I need to feel you lying next to me
Your absence pains me, like flying daggers that carve your name on my skin
There’s nothing but your voice that relentlessly rings in my ears
Let me sleep in your embrace
Caress me as we unite in my deepest dreams
Forever as one

I will not let you have your show at my expense
What if I just took my own life?

Here I am
Like a criminal chained and confined
Living on borrowed time

Here there’s only me and my shadow
I am alone

Looking at nothing, expecting nothing
The world is spinning around me

The pyre denied me,
As the rain caressed me
A sign of guilt to eyes that cannot see
But I won't let you have your show
I'll tie my noose before the break of dawn
I am safe now
Farewell my beloved one
Kiss me, my angel of death
I am ready
Take me now
