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
