Plea Of The Aged

Death is drawing closer I'm fighting for my life

I know not how to stop it live through this pain and strife

Awakened in the nighttime I'm fighting for my life

Death is drawing nearer I'll soon be cold as ice

No longer do I trifle bones growing too old

Death longing to reach and grasp my unrelenting soul

When I'm lying at my rest they'll look upon my face

Cry their tears of dreadful mourn in their weakened daily pace



Remember me, hear my plea time's drawing nigh for me to die

Remember me, hear my plea take from this heart the bitter part

The world they will destroy me or put me in the ground

Stand around my gravesite with their heads all hanging down

When I'm lying at my rest they'll look upon my face

Cry their tears of dreadful mourn in their weakened daily pace

Staring at the ceiling the tubes glow in the dark

Fearless thoughts invade my head to tear my mind apart

Trapped within this feeling I feel it deep inside

Knock of death upon my door and I've no will to hide



Take from me my very soul with wretched mourning death

Take mine eyes for I have seen the hell in which we live

Take now from one man on earth who loved this life so much

Take away everything for it's all cold to the touch

Remember me, hear my plea soon the darkness I will see

Remember me, hear my plea for now another...
