lyrics

This fragile boy knows only pain
Lungs constricted, convulsing in flames
By the fight for survival and the yearning to live in an unjust world
Surrounded by men in white
Lying half dead under cruel fluorescent lights
Needles tap in sustaining life
Chemicals mix and reality blurs
A new infection revealed by radiation
That grows deep inside, taking formation
The men peer inside the crystal ball suspended on the screen
A small battle won in this grim episode
Having cheated death once, but his insides corrode
To the tune of the dark siren’s beckoning scream

Gasping alone in my death bed
No time left, minutes have fled
Suffocate, taken by disease
Urging me, by death’s grip I’m seized

Reaching serenity, a dreamlike escape
Free from affliction in my unconscious state
I know what awaits: my prison of pain
A hopeless existence, I’m thrown back again

Death looms, attracted to the boy
“And if thou aren’t willing, then force I’ll employ”
