How sweet would be the kiss of death,
How soft the embrace?
How soothing the eternal darkness,
How soon till I see your face?

When does the suffering end,
When does the pain stop?
When will I finally breathe,
When will I reach the top?

Where do the demons hide,
Where do they prevail?
Where is the light I search,
Where does this boat sail?

What is there left to give,
What is there left to take?
What road do I choose,
What will ease the ache?

Why does it have to be this way,
Why fight when already lost?
Why take a chance now,
Why pay the crippling cost?
