This Life

I walk this path of loneliness called life.

I’m tired of living in this world, this world of strife.

Last night I had awoken in the dead of night,

And realized that I had enough, enough; no more will I fight.

The dark halls of my mind will I walk no more;

It haunts me the terror, right to the core.

I stand at this edge of the cliff of despair;

This life I cannot live, this life so unfair.

I fall, fall into the endless fog,

And all, all sinks into the murky bog.

Suddenly I awoke from the pit mire;

And realized that even death is a liar.

I’m alive and well concerning the terrible deed.

To my left I spot an ancient book to read.

I flip through these old pages of the dead;

So many sorrows, so many deaths, so many people who bled.

Though they’re dead, they speak about life eternal;

Some to heaven, some to the fiery infernal.

What’s the conclusion to the whole matter;

Fear God always so you don’t end up in the latter.

I cry unto the God of all;

If there is a God, this God I call.

[Oh my dear, I bled for you and all eternity,

So you can have life and life more abundantly.

This world, that’s all that matters you see,

So come unto me, come unto me.]

I stand at his cliff of despair,

No just a cliff that’s there.

I see heaven open and all there is;

I see happiness flash and all the bliss.
