It seems that through the years I have shed my fair share of tears And the blood coursing through my veins Have become far more like chains Life is long and filled with horrors Seen by only brave explorers And of course those who’s eyes Are open as they hear their cries Others curl up and ignore Everything forevermore The world is crumbling in front of me And now I know only I could see The way humanity fell apart Through my icy and numb heart I fought for years to save you all But alas! You did not hear my call No more heaven and no more hell I won’t remain and I will not dwell My death will be my own So you can see the seed you have sown The spawn of hatred to your fellow creature No longer will I be your preacher I will be silent till the end of days And when you’re gone I will bask in the rays Of the warm, warm sun and the cool, cool moon And now I will die all too soon The chains will fall away And leave me to play In a world destroyed In this great wide void And now I can smile At least for awhile Because soon I will die And then I can lie On the ground in peace And my body will release My soul to the stars And I will never have to see my scars My tears will dry And I will not cry For the deaths I have seen through the years I know I hold no fears I can be calm now And take my final bow

A Chaotic Life Comes To an End
It seems that through the years I have shed my fair share of tears And the blood coursing through my veins Have become far more like chains Life is long and filled with horrors Seen by only brave explorers And of course those who’s eyes Are open as they hear their cries Others curl up and ignore Everything forevermore The world is crumbling in front of me And now I know only I could see The way humanity fell apart Through my icy and numb heart I fought for years to save you all But alas! You did not hear my call No more heaven and no more hell I won’t remain and I will not dwell My death will be my own So you can see the seed you have sown The spawn of hatred to your fellow creature No longer will I be your preacher I will be silent till the end of days And when you’re gone I will bask in the rays Of the warm, warm sun and the cool, cool moon And now I will die all too soon The chains will fall away And leave me to play In a world destroyed In this great wide void And now I can smile At least for awhile Because soon I will die And then I can lie On the ground in peace And my body will release My soul to the stars And I will never have to see my scars My tears will dry And I will not cry For the deaths I have seen through the years I know I hold no fears I can be calm now And take my final bow
