I look in the mirror and what do I see?
A hideous monster looking back at meAnd I think to myself, "whatever shall I do?"
My solution, to cease, and be a local heroSix minutes to go, and a life to take
Six minutes to go, and a decision to makeFive minutes to go, and I struggle to let go
Five minutes to go, and my blood chooses to flowFour minutes to go, and the color is draining
Four minutes to go, and its presence is fadingThree minutes to go, and the world goes black
Three minutes to go, and the monster fights backTwo minutes to go, and the monster concedes
Two minutes to go, and justice succeedsOne minute to go, and there's no turning back
One minute to go, and my life fades to blackAnd my blood flows empty
And my brain thinks weaklyAnd my monster is laid to rest
