The life i've lead

The I've lead
is closing in
the blood I've bled
is seeping through
the hourglass beside my bead
and i don't know what to do

the knife i hold
is gaining strength
till i grow old
it rules my heart
the defiance of deaths black gold
is slowly tearing me apart

the love I've felt
it killing me
the cards god delt
for all to see
the pain I've felt
it's hard to breathe
