One Step Behind Death

Half asleep, fading out, feeling less pain
My rage is minimal, my consciousness alive
To quiet the hurt, to forget the loss
I must drift into sleep
So death can be felt
Without love, without hope
All I want is to feel and see the dark
The promises of yesterday are gone
A man without a soul, a purpose without a memory
Awake again for death's grasp is running
Slowly behind I begin the chase
Hours continue, days mount on
The promises of yesterday are gone
Dreaming of my death, swimming in sleep
Without love, without hope
Sleeping forever is my lust
What will become of my soul?
As I drift through corridors
Riding the black wave of Eternity
Waking up again- not to normal existence
To her cold dead grasp
I have slept, I died, I traveled
Far and beyond- For Her
Awake again for death's grasp is running...
Slowly behind I continue the chase...
