As Death Approaches

Leave me here, turn and walk away
No sad goodbyes, no pitiful eyes, don't stay
I am dying, but still I feel no pain
Don't waste your dreams for me, no need to pray, no need to pray

Now I know
Now I know
That you will fly
Be my pride

Slowly dying - I am not the one who is crying
Deeply crying - I am the one who is dying

All is not lost, I am forever yours
Don't waste your dreams, go live your life for me
Don't blame yourself, don't tear yourself apart
Let your smile be the last I see

Now I know
That you will fly

Slowly dying - I am not the one who is crying
Deeply crying - I am the one who is dying

Now I leave, the world will fade away
The sadness in your eyes you couldn't hide from me
I close my eyes, and I realize
Your hand in mine will be last I feel

Slowly dying - I am not the one who is crying
Deeply crying - I am the one who is dying

I lay a rose on your stone so cold
Though I tried, my dreams they died with you
There is no place for me in this world of death
With a rope around my neck, I take my final breath

Slowly dying - I am not the one who is crying
Deeply crying - I am the one who is dying
