The emptiness, as you wishing a way
Never knew you'd only come this far
Terminal, limitation portrayed
As your frailty becomes who you are
Forgiving yourself for all that you've done
And all that you have failed to achieve
There is little excuse and even less time
Better start working out what you believe
Welcome to my domain
Feel the embrace of expectancy
Submit to the gradual drain
As life slips away
I'm not long for this world
Circling this mortal coil
My time is running out
I'm not far from the end
I'm not among this life
Out of place at best I linger
Drawn out far too long
I'm drained and ever shifting to the grave
Cohesion is lost as it disintegrates
Echoing a morbid reverie
The fallen's song drones in your ear
A dirge for sanity
Latent voices summoning your darkest days
Unmasked as the gallows appear
The sentinels of your approaching end
Rise from the blackest abyss
Welcome to my domain
Feel the embrace of expectancy
Submit to the gradual drain
As life slips away
I'm not long for this world
Circling this mortal coil
My time is running out
I'm not far from the end
I'm not among this life
Out of place at best I linger
Drawn out far too long
I'm drained and ever shifting to the grave
♪
I count the minutes as they drain away
In my departure from vivacity
My degradation is nearing complete
My life exhausted it will taste defeat
Nothing to hold onto, only essence of existence
Empty shell of former prominence
Slipping ever gradual, rate increasing, so unnatural
I struggle at the last defence
Consuming, the acceptance of a terminal prognosis
Never cared for living anyway
Drowning in the calm, a wake engulfs before the storm
The silence hollow, my departure plays
♪
There is no peace as we await the bitter end
There is no salvation for the condemned
There is a faltering that I cannot contend
These are the final moments of my endurance
I'm not long for
I'm not long for this world
