The day has come to close my eyes
On the daylight, on the nighttime
All the shadows come to life
Blot out the daylight, inside of my mind
I know what you see when you look inside of me
My madness calls to you, but there's nothing you can do
I know the truth
Goodbye my friends you all are gone
It won't be long, the end of my song
All my words will carry on
It can't be wrong, to sing of longing
I know what you see but no happier you'll be
To understand me
My madness poisons you and there's nothing you can do
You'll be this way too
My shame has brought me here to this
Give death a kiss, I'm on her list
She will take me by the hand
I understand what she commands
