FEAR OF DYING

Have you felt the pain that's hunger
Ever felt the pain of desire
Candles are set, logs are loaded
No one there to share that fire

Does it strike fear in your heart
Does it strike a certain chord
That all your lies will be found out
Then all your lives will be exposed

What you didn't know won't matter at all
When your shell turns to rust
House of cards  falls to the ground
And your bones turn to dust

Will you then know it was all lost anyway
No matter where you placed your trust
