A dead mother's eyes   Transfixed in endless sorrow   Hard times to bury a son   Some say we will live on   Hope fills the depths of their hearts   Of blind faith I surely am not         These passing years have stolen my smile   My reflection a stranger      Behind the attic door   Between the silhouettes   The wet kiss of death in the night-time mist   Upon the autumn leaves   Your words are carried to me   I know it kills you that my own hands set me free         These passing years have stolen my smile   (my time)   My reflection a stranger   (my reflection seems stranger)   This young shell harbored an old man   (why try?)   Set me free from this nightmare      It's over now   Rest your head awhile   The fear   Is the illusion of darkness   Death is not the end      Inside decaying eyes   My murdered spirit lies   My body burns with the glow of a funeral pyre   Procession gathered 'round   I never heard a sound   Ash to the wind   Never underground         These passing years have stolen my smile   (my time)   My reflection a stranger   (my reflection seems stranger)   This young shell harbored an old man   (why try?)   Set me free from this nightmare         It's over now   Rest your head awhile   The fear   Is the illusion of darkness   Death is not the end      Death is not the end....      Burn my flesh of this rotting shell   Grind my bones into dust and ash   Send my soul to oblivion   Erase these hollow, fucking years   Cleanse yourself from my putrid life   Become my ghost and kill yourself         It's over now   Rest your head awhile   The fear   Is the illusion of darkness   Death is not the end      Death is not the end.....      Do not falter   Pull the trigger   Absolve your wretched existence
