One Step Ahead of Death

[Verse 1]
This is the end, don't want to feel the pain
Porous bones, desiccated roots
Obscure thoughts, disintegrated mind
Thick old blood sticks in my veins

[Pre-Chorus]
Burn out my tongue, I won't cry
Break my bones, I won't run
Cut out my heart, I won't bleed
Please take my life and let me die

[Chorus]
Show me the light when darkness comes around
Take me to the other side where fear and hate cease to exist
Show me the light when noise encases my pain
Take me to the other side, one step ahead of death

[Verse 2]
This is the end, ages behind
My paper-like skin tears apart
Long deep folds, doomed and revealed
Old weak flesh hangs down from old bones

[Pre-Chorus]
Burn out my tongue, I won't cry
Break my bones, I won't run
Cut out my heart, I won't bleed
Please take my life and let me die

[Chorus]
Show me the light when darkness comes around
Take me to the other side where fear and hate cease to exist
Show me the light when noise encases my pain
Take me to the other side, in the face of death I’ll be redeemed

[Chorus]
Show me the light when darkness comes around
Take me to the other side where fear and hate cease to exist
Show me the light when noise encases my pain
Take me to the other side, in sweet relief of death I'll rise
