The Final Embrace
Drink away
the pain
As you accept the
final enbrace
As life drains out of
you
Drink away the pain
As you breatthe your
last
As death hovers over
your body
Drink away the pain
As you rememer your
whole life
As memories make
you see your life was
nothing
Drink away the pain
As you hear the last
prayer over your body
As thoughts drift
away to oblivion
Drink away the pain
As you hear either
angels singing or
people screaming
As senses start to
shut down
Drink away the pain
As you accept a new
life
As nothingness fades
away, learn a new
territory of life/
death
