Tired is my body and tired feels my soul
So I close my eyes and let my thoughts go
They take wherever, to a faraway land
And show me things that I don't want

A terrifying vision in front of me is set
Days are running out, no much time left

I can see all my life in front of me
Is that really what I wanted to be?
Do I even know what I wanted for me?
All I want now is another chance to be

The terrifying vision before me spreads
It's only hours now, no much time left

Whatever I have is not what I want
Whatever I want is not what I have
Shall I just die or stand up and fight?
Weigh your desires and get just the one

This terrifying vision is nearing the end
Now just a few minutes, no much time left

Too long deciding, life is escaping
I cry in despair, death is now waiting
Just seconds to go, light is now fading
I know now this life is ending.

No more than a dream that vision was
But before it's too late
A decision has to be made
On how to use my time left.
Okay, this topic of what your priorities are when you face death has been sang, written about, painted and anything you can think of.

I know.

I don't pretend to be better or more clever than the ones before me. I just had my go at it because I was inspired by two songs. "24" by Jem and "Hunter" by Dido. I love those two songs and they inspired me.

Time IS running out, I know not how long
Before I must take my bow and stop singing my song
The curtain is set to come down on my stage
The book is written except the last page
The pen is in hand but I cannot find the words
I am awaiting the end, my life was absurd.

Well, not always so absurd but for the sake of rhyme...
Read through Dying Man Blues, like this .
