Death, I Do Not Fear

Pardon me quaintly,
my dear friend...
For how would you feel,
if I brought the end?

My eyes are empty,
my soul is black...
Nothings to living,
there's no coming back...

Everyday, s a waste,
I waste my breath...
I, await the call,
from my friend, DEATH...

His presence, I've found,
I know he's near...
I'm ready to step out,
out of life's fear...

Oh, the joyous thought,
*DEATH* to die....
To experience it now,
beats, being alive.

I imagine it to be,
an incredible masquerade...
For I fear life,
*DEATH* I'm not afraid...

It's a seclusion of peace,
it's simple to be free...
Out of this body,
away from me...

To drift away amongst,
the beginning of time...
On a complete disconnection,
on a short term line...

Death, Death my friend,
I'm calling thee...
I'm awaiting your call,
to let me be free...

I want to sink,
to fade away...
Away, from this world,
I see every day...

Slowly, slowly I like,
*TO DIE* my friend...
So I can feel every pain,
of my tormented end...

Why, why am I,
am I still here?
For I tell you *DEATH*
"I do not fear"...
