Faster. Faster and faster still

Determined to survive

Through a hightened will

I must survive

You need me alive



Steady. Pumping at a rhythm so steady

The forces are closing in

And we're all ready

We must survive the night

We must find a way

To endure this fight



Shallow. Slower by the minute

Danger visciously attacks

Fear is at it's max

Blood flows, The afterlife follows

Eternal Night

Our soul, It swallows



Over. we are now flatlining

Pain overwhelms us all

As we miss our timing



Unwillingly, We answer the Reaper's call

Slowly. Ineveitably. We start so fall
