The Gift of Life

I look all around me what do I see?
Man's greedy minds in a sick society
My life is a struggle a battle with time
No chance to sleep in a city of crime
Problems have gripped me, I can't run and hide grass isn't greener on the other side
Each day I awake I'm faced with the same
The treadmill of life has left me insane

I slowly feel my body ageing
A stranger inside me so hard to disguise
I'm not the man that was once created
Please help me God, it's hard to die

The rеnt's in arrears, I'm well overdrawn
I'vе lived on the breadline since the day I was born
If there's a friend out there who would understand
We'd share the burden both hand in hand
But I search for that love, it's something I'll never find
I'm trapped in illusion leave reality behind
I glance in the mirror my father looks back at me his face tells a story of his sad son's insanity

I slowly feel my body ageing
A stranger inside me so hard to disguise
I'm not the man that was once created
Please help me God, it's hard to die

Now it's time to free
The bitterness in me
A better life I must find
To leave the world behind
God will take my hand
Show me to his promised land
To find love eluding me
In peace joy and harmony

Destroy the devil I have made
To my chest I plunge a blade
As the knife goes in
I feel a pain within
My body now it's time to rest
When the steel leaves my chest
My evil spirits start to show
To this new life I must go
