Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust
Late at night alone in this life
Forgotten ignored; A secret door opens
A thousand voices whisper, alone in my grave
Seven demons help me sleep my life away
Surround me poking jiggling telling me jokes
Keeping me company giggling as I lay
Not here to hurt me letting me know
I’m not alone;  A laughing Legion
Dreaming a Dream, Hoping against Hope
When will it be over? When will it end?
Forevermore Forevermore
Tried to be good, holy, and wise
Made some mistakes, hope I saved untold lives
Alone but not lonely forsaken multitudes
Beg plead yearn to see a distant memory
in Someone’s mind unwritten unspoken
Loaned my soul to live a lie; Eternity beckons
The coffin slams shut, the dirt hits my face
I can’t breathe let me out of this place!
Then a Voice said, “Is This Her?”…

What will you do? Where will you go?
How will it be? What did you think
Was going to happen when you were caught?
When its time to meet your deathly hallowed
Hangman’s Noose, Lethal Drip, Firing Squad,
Revengeful Lover righteously indignant ...
Should everybody Thank You? Give you a Medal?

Write your Name on the Wall of Shame!
You are Busted! Going Downtown! Serving Time!
Now Who? Who now do you serve,
Fatefully Tragic Face of Death?
An Echo? A Sound? A Fury on the Edge?
Facing the music how do you plead?
Guilty as Charged? Or Insanity?
Give it a rest!  Give me a break!
You knew it was wrong so how is it different now?
Wasted your gift for a Weekend Pass!
A free Gift; a Ticket to Ride:  Kiss My ... !
You had it all; it wasn’t enough!
Lived well, go to meet God.
Sins forgiven by Innocent Blood
... until Judgement Day.
