His withering body lies dying before me A deep sigh escapes as the ending draws near No time to waste, I must start mesmerizing Death, my dear friend, will be cheated once more The stroke of my hand is the key The fate of this man lies with me The power of Gods you will see His soul I will never set free Eyes turning inward and limbs turning rigid The ritual is working, the signs are all there No turning back now I know I’m forsaken His breath ethereal as the sleep walker speaks “Asleep, yet awake, let me die” The voice comes from somewhere inside My stairway to heaven denied Creation of God is defiled “Put me to sleep Or quick waken me” What have I done I’m in way to deep “Put me to sleep Or quick waken me” What have I done I’m in way to deep Screaming in vain His flesh melts away All hope is lost Like tears in the rain
