She assured me it would be quick and painless

 But the ticking of time is an echo, oh so long

 I asked her where we go when we die

 She just smiled and kissed my cheek

 "To a place where no one knows..."

 This pulse in my hand, it's a life, it's a death

 She pulls me swiftly by my hand

 I see the crowded stairs of the church in a blur

 Destined to go somewhere beyond this

 It's wearing off as we slide through the door

 She said "you always left me wanting more..."

 I am just sand in the glass, and I don't fear this departure

 Take me into your arms when I'm dead and gone

 Hold me close to your heart when I'm dead and gone

 Plant me deep in the ground when I'm dead and gone

 Dead and gone
