Nemesis - Hope For The Dying

…Death

Finds us

All of us

Who knows the hour

But it’s upon us

We can’t escape

Our bodies, worthless bags of flesh in waiting

Most left just counting down the hours…

…Hours

Wasted

Days even

I can’t believe the time I’ve spent

Toiling away

I was a slave to all of my own demons

Meanwhile my soul was in decay, in decay

Oh, the end is near

I am not worthy

Oh, what have I done

My life was wasted

Selfish reasons

Filling the depths of my mind

Ever consuming my thoughts

Mountains climbed and conquered only

Validated my own self-worth

If time allowed I’d spread my name across the earth

Redemption seems like a far away fantasy

Am I too late, to absolve all my sins

As I approach my eternal destiny

Will it be light, or darkness I see

So here it is my story as it unfolds

How it will end soon to be known

Chiseled in stone

Here lies the man who

Didn’t believe

His heart could be pure

Buried alone

In my final resting place

Even my thoughts

Are fading from form

Cast aside

As if I were nothing

Beneath the Earth

Where souls go to burn

Oh, the end is near

My life was wasted on my selfish reasons
