Surrender

I hear the voice of whispered dreams, Which echoed long ago The distant thunder shakes the ground, As the fear within me grows The voice approaches steadily, While fires form in Its wake I turn to flee on legs of stone, Theres no more I can take The world beneath me opens up, Still struggling...I run But mournful cries of tortured souls, Has only just begun I force myself to continue on, As terror fills my mind With fear and hope my only friends, I pray that I'll survive Hands of Death have reached for me, For all these dreaded years I feel the wounds of loneliness, As I wipe away the tears I slowly stop and face the End, My head held ever high With peace of mind I reach for Him, No longer scared to die....
