• I here the song of hope,
    but dark despair closes my ears.
    leaving silence where melody reigned.
    Did I ever hear this song?

    I see the light of life,
    but unto me is the darkness of death,
    the light has fled me.
    Was that light ever there?

    I smell the fragrant flowers,
    now the stench of death is nigh.
    the odor of flesh falling away.
    Was the fragrance real?

    I feel the warmth of love,
    yet I am filled with coldness.
    sorrow has filled my heart,
    Did I ever love?

    I see the pleasures of this life,
    falling away before the dark of deaths door.
    Was it all a past memory?
    ... or maybe just a dream.
