*** Lyrics ***
AS I DIE!
Stare, as eyes uphold me
And wait, to see right through
And curse me, the love has crippled you
shadows aren't the night
forgive me as i die
sin, the last diversion
my face will be untouched
dismiss now the anger of a fool
shadows aren't the night
forgive me as i die
taking a chance and take what you can
my soul it has no price
total release is outta harms way
until i can decide
you, punish me
can't you see i'm not real
tears are flowing freely
passing by as i die.....
