Time Has Called the Reaper
Stop the world and let me off
I'm where I don't belong
A broken soul forever weak
A million miles from strong
I know not what tomorrow brings
But today is standing still
An echo of a hollow past
Who's forgotten how to feel
Oxygen, a weak temptation
To live another day
A breath of bottled hopelessness
That makes me feel this way
The sun that used to warm my skin
Now reminds me of my fate
Just a plan without a purpose
Forever reprobate
A shadow of what I used to be
Beckons me to hide my face
A past without a future
A dark and winless race
A promise without a reason
Has kept me walking straight
But time has called the reaper
For me it is too late
