Forsaken (2003)
Death will come to pleasure Me!
I'm Fornicating with Fear!
Celebrate infinite Jubilee!
No need to time lag;
I lie plundered on a bier.
I flavor myself knowing it's the end.
I lug sideways on the frame.
What kind of Aura has me penned?
I won't release pain;
yet Death defies to tame.
Please give me a toe tag.
No clue as to what commenced me here.
I haven't abided by the rules of my animated life.
'So there is no need to strive isn't there, 'Death spoke! ?
Nothing is clear,
having my eyes covered in tears.
A slight laceration drains my energy.
I can only scream to a certain degree.
Only the air can hear my outcry.
I won't forgive and I won't forget.
My lifeless body doesn't move only my sweat.
All my mind knows is I've longed for goodbye.
