The silence is deafening

The roar of life has died

Facing the emptiness

The bitter cold inside

Gripped by disgust I wake up

To this unrelenting reality

I’ve tasted her lips, felt her embrace

The price was my mortality

I find myself, caught in the grey

Among the dying, the dying to be dead

Breathing death, spirits decay

Among the dying

The air of youth has left me now

I feel my core is crumbling

Downed by the force of age

A mockery quite humbling

Give my condolences to

The naive lover of living

His dream is shattered, torn to shreds

The prize for the years he has given

I find myself, caught in the grey

Among the dying, the dying to be dead

Breathing death, fading away

Among the dying

Among the dying... among the dying...

Among the dying... among the dying...

This is it

There will be no more

From now on I will just await my death.
