The stains of time pull me down Into my meaninglessnes I live the rest of my life In the past next to death I hate these times I realize what I am now No medicine can save me from this undertow It just protrects the decomposing And I rot So I pass away Stop this slow death Don't let me die this way No sense for this distress So I pass away How can I stop this fight Don't let me die this way Or give me back my sight And I know that I'm no god so take me lord above Don't wanna be a burden For the ones I love Am I allowed to regret anything I've done? Or is this unfounded remorse? Did they suffer from me? Once I preached steady Now I am a freak Once I created rules And now I seek for respect I hate these times I realize what i am now No medicine can save me from this undertow It just protrects the decomposing And I rot I remember cadavers World war two Why can't I rest with my friends Who lay in the dirt beneath the frontier Ground
