The Failed Rebirth
I speak of death
Whispered gently in a shaky breath
They want to take me away
Can you hear them calling thy?
For I was not prepared to die
Reincarnation
Rebirth of the wild child
Scared he cries, inside mother dies
Prisoner, cannot run, cannot see, cannot move
Memories of past life confuse
Help me, take my hand
Do not let me die
Before I have opened my eyes
Too late, there they are
They begin to call
Death makes an angel of us all
Let me see light, once forgotten
Sleep into an endless night
