(Spoken prayer)

As I lay me down to sleep,

I pray the Reaper,

My soul to take,

For My fondest wish,

Is to die,

Before I wake.





Lost in darkness,

Hiding in pain,

Nothing left to lose,

But everything to gain.

Useless,

That's what you see me as.

Hate,

Burning in my eyes,

Betrayal,

In my soul.

Darkness,

Is all around.



(Chorus)

Death,

Sweet death,

I pray to you,

Come,

Relieve my pain.



The sun has burn out,

But I am unaware.

Because of,

The coldness

In my soul,

I,

Don't even care,

If you get,

Out alive.

You're pain is,

My greatest strength,

My pain,

Will never die.



(Chorus)

Death,

Sweet death,

I pray to you,

Come,

Diminish my pain.

Come,

Relieve me of my pain!



(Instrumental)



Everything,

Is gone.

Pain,

Itself remains,

Self-hatred,

Locked inside.

No longer,

Must it hide.

Tonight,

As I sleep

I'll bury,

All deep inside.

And you,

My friend,

You will,

Never know.



(Chorus)

Death,

Sweet death,

I pray to you,

Come,

Subdue my pain.

Come,

Relieve my pain.

Come,

Diminish my pain.



(Spoken)

Relieve me of my pain.
