Nothingness

Darkness closing in on me Blacker than dusk I cannot see As I make my way into unknown lands I am being beckoned by unseen hands My spirit drawn towards a glistening light My fear is banished by this wondrous sight Drifting further, what's happening I can't tell Looking back I see my bloodstained shell Oh the light keeps trying to reel me in I must restrain myself or it will win Trying to reclaim this body of mine Reversing the flow of the sands of time I hear a voice from the past Telling me now I'm free at last No! Mama, please, I don't wanna die Please don't make me go into the light Teardrops dripping down my chin My resignation setting in I can't resist the light again Open your arms and guide me in The blinding light is all I see Familiar voices surrounding me I am in the afterlife at last Now I've disappeared into the past
