I Wait For the End and Sing My Death Song

As I leave you today Im broken hearted
My body dies and I become one of the departed
The taste of death sickens me in every way
All the colors I know now are black and gray

With no worries as I know you will be shortly along
I wait for the end and sing my death song

Painting my lifes canvas with a final stokes breath
Knowing my critic is th reper of death
Staring at loving pictures that hang on my wall
Knowing the angels are waiting paiently to call

With no worries as I know you will be shortly along
I wait for the end and sing my death song

Im one heartbeat away from rotting to the core
You can hear the sound of me knocking on deaths door
What direction will I take heaven or hell
Im not impatient and only time wil tell

With no worries as I know you will be shortly along
I wait for the end and sing my death song

Going softly as day turns to eternal night
My fear is upon me and then all at once out of sight
I drown in sorrow into the sea of blue
My last thoughts are of course you and only you

With no worries as I know you will be shortly along
I wait for the end and sing my death song

This is so powerful and deep. I would not want to be the one to find you but to be the one to save you. Hugs
