Last Breath

It took me a single stride
To crash into you
My intentions full of pride
But every word being true

My words are leading 
To somewhere we both don't want to go
It's your feeling i'm feeding
But its poisoned so i lay low

From the black abyss that is my heart
I have left the light behind
From the good i can finally depart
I want to see what i can find

The candle has been blown out
By the breath that has escaped my mouth
You all know what it is im talking about
The only direction i know is south

But before i get carried away
By the demons that are sure to come
There's one thing that i must say
Before getting taken to the eternal slum

Today is the finale of death
The ceremonies will end with the sun
As i breathe my last breath
It's from life that i run
