I feel the reaper coming, Coming to take my soul. Feel the time is running- Out, as each breath is old. I feel the moments passing As my heart turns to stone. Feel the dreams aren't lasting, As my mind burns cold. When I am awake, I'm dreaming, Dreaming of being awake. I feel the cold hands creeping; Reaching for my soul to take.  See you standing there- And.. and I cannot stay. Heavy is this life of care- And, as is my heart this day.  Specters and echoes, Looking to take my soul. Lectures to let go- Of when my story's told. I feel you coming closer, I will not. back. down. The noose is dropping lower; I will be finished, now.  -Corbin

Take My Soul
I feel the reaper coming, Coming to take my soul. Feel the time is running- Out, as each breath is old. I feel the moments passing As my heart turns to stone. Feel the dreams aren't lasting, As my mind burns cold. When I am awake, I'm dreaming, Dreaming of being awake. I feel the cold hands creeping; Reaching for my soul to take.  See you standing there- And.. and I cannot stay. Heavy is this life of care- And, as is my heart this day.  Specters and echoes, Looking to take my soul. Lectures to let go- Of when my story's told. I feel you coming closer, I will not. back. down. The noose is dropping lower; I will be finished, now.  -Corbin
