The stains of time pull me down
Into my meaninglessnes
I live the rest of my life
In the past next to death

I hate these times I realize what I am now
No medicine can save me from this undertow
It just protrects the decomposing

And I rot

So I pass away
Stop this slow death
Don`t let me die this way
No sense for this distress
So I pass away
How can I stop this fight
Don`t let me die this way
Or give me back my sight

And I know that I`m no god so take me lord above
Don`t wanna be a burden
For the ones I love

Am I allowed to regret anything I`ve done?
Or is this unfounded remorse?
Did they suffer from me?

Once I preached steady
Now I am a freak
Once I created rules
And now I seek for respect

I hate these times I realize what I am now
No medicine can save me from this undertow
It just protrects the decomposing

And I rot

I remember cadavers
World war two
Why can`t I rest with my friends
Who lay in the dirt beneath the frontier
Ground
