Lay precious, still
Leave it soaking in
The poignant, sentimental light of this illusion
When I'm stripped away
Please remember me
I know you'll wait to see the end of this confusion
As I waste away
Becoming old and thin
Your hair, cheeks, your burning eyes
Will softly haunt me
The lonely nights
Empty like the days
Wrongly convicted for crime in this place
My world is flooding from within
The light beyond the surface closing
Bury me deep beneath the stars
And let me leave this world of ours
