Beyond the Light - Deathrow

A long, long time he stayed in deathrow, now the chosen day has come

Lead by the ushers of the court, let the judgment be done

Long ago he saw the daylight without bars

But this is the last time his sun will rise

Walking towards the gallows, he knows the sling awaits him

From somewhere he hears music, it’s toneless sound makes him afraid

Suddenly the music stops, for him the sign to go

Was it the melody of death or of mercy he doesn’t now

Now he stands on the gallows, face towards the rope

He believes that after his fall, there’s no future, there’s no hope

Now his head’s fills the sling, he feels the agony growing

Executioner’s hand moves the gear-lever, first he hovers than he falls !

A sudden push through his body

With open eyes he stares at this fate

His lungs gasp for air, his brain explodes

The abyss of death comes much nearer

Hovering in darkness, his body dies

His mind exists, searching for light

A strange feeling, to fly through eternity

A glow in the darkness, it’s a light he now sees

The glowing light comes nearer

He flies into this soul-mirror

Now he can see his now phantom mind

And his life, that’s now passed behind

But a quickly growing dark vortex

Draws him away from his soul’s destruction

Now all his emotions and all of his thoughts

Dissolve in silence-into nothingness
