All i can hear is the sound That echoes in my head It's full of darkness I'm straining to reach To escape The light on the surface, light on the other side i feel the pages turning As i write what happens in my mind The candle of time is burning down My time is running out As the wax starts to spread my hand weakens And my eyes fall I can write no more I have lost my strength I will soon be gone When the light of the candle stops flickering And the ink turns red I will soon be dead
