Plea Of The Aged

Death is drawing closer

I'm fighting for my life

I know not how to stop it

Live through this pain and strife

Awakened in the nighttime

I'm fighting for my life

Death is drawing nearer

I'll soon be cold as ice

No longer do I trifle

Bones growing too old

Death longing to reach and grasp my unrelenting soul

When I'm lying at my rest

They'll look upon my face

Cry their tears of dreadful mourn

In their weakened daily pace

[Chorus]:

Remember me, hear my plea

Time's drawing nigh for me to die

Remember me, hear my plea

Take from this heart the bitter part

The world they will destroy me

Or put me in the ground

Stand around my gravesite

With their heads all hanging down

When I'm lying at my rest

They'll look upon my face

Cry their tears of dreadful mourn

In their weakened daily pace

Staring at the ceiling

The tubes glow in the dark

Fearless thoughts invade my head

To tear my mind apart

Trapped within this feeling

I feel it deep inside

Knock of death upon my door

And I've no will to hide

Remember me, hear my plea

Time's drawing nigh for me to die

Remember me, hear my plea

Take from this heart the bitter part

Remember me, hear my plea

Time's drawing nigh for me to die

Remember me, hear my plea

Take from this heart the bitter part

Take from me my very soul

With wretched mourning death

Take mine eyes for I have seen

The hell in which we live

Take now from one man on earth

Who loved this life so much

Take away everything

For it's all cold to the touch

Remember me, hear my plea

Time's drawing nigh for me to die

Remember me, hear my plea

Take from this heart the bitter part

Remember me, hear my plea

Soon the darkness I will see

Remember me, hear my plea

For now another...
