How can I bear it any longer   A life wasted, buried in selfish regret   Tired of living for that which will pass away   The end of the road I tread   Is death and ashes   All I will be is a memory   A bitter one at that   You laid down your life   So I can finally have it   That I would not waste   Another of these precious moments   On this frail and fleeting self   Unearth my suffocated will   Let me choose the path   For which this life was made
