It made me fall in the deep, dark pit.
At the bottom of a pit
Where sun has never lit,
Where darkness spread around
With darkness overhead
On every side, death casts forward his net
Volcanoes erupt and spit
Hot river of lava tries to hit
wading through death, meeting it;
Seem as vague and hazy like a dream.
I try but give up my fight
Losing ability to talk and eye sight
As right hand clutches the left tight
Holdin' tight hurting all over doesn't feel right
It's my destiny
Stirring up the spark into fire inside me
Tugging the noose
Trying to free my squeezed neck loose
Pain in a string tangled wreck
Flinging arms call out
"If when I die I will live again,
And some thinking, feeling,
Remembering part of me will continue...
Despite the ancient and worldwide
Cultural and beliefs
They mystify and bring relief
Asserting an afterlife, immortality
It feels like a formation of beliefs, wishful thinking,
If it was really true no matter what
And I can trust my gut
The door is slammed shut"
But as if it's an endless dream
Shadow so deep;
Destruction and death of life can't be
When I found myself at sea
It was Mum and me
This perspective has given me
A little extra motivation to stay alive!
In our vulnerability,
Looking Death in the eye
Don't make me breathe a sigh
Being grateful for every day
The brief but magnificent opportunity
Now what I say is
Ruled by supernatural is
Not a dream or spiritual fantasy
you are an inspiration
