A dark veil encloses me Covers my weary eyes At last, it’s time for me to die I’ve lived too many years Seen more than anyone should At last, I lay to rest for good The mistress of death holds me close I will follow where she goes The burden of life can’t be ignored I leave to join The Evermore The passage of time recedes I float between illusions At last, I’ve come to Life’s conclusion Now no more will I linger Between life and sweet death At last, I take my final breath Did I do enough Or was it all too much Now it all drifts away Fading to black The mistress of death holds me close I will follow where she goes The burden of life can’t be ignored I leave to join The Evermore The mistress of death holds me close I will follow where she goes The burden of life can’t be ignored I leave to join The Evermore The Evermore The Evermore The Evermore
