Going Down To Die

and I know

that it's true

all the fire

has burned thru

well you know i've played

so hard

and the light

grows so dim

and my time's getting slim

all the words

just don't mean much

and I know I'm saying

goodbye

and I know that I'm going

down

to die

in my heart there's a wind

and it swirls up a din

it's so loud

it drowns my mind

till the coin that i pass

to the ferryman's grasp

lets me leave

my pain

behind

so I part

and I'm oh so cold

and I hope to release

my heart

better leave

while my song still calls

it's the truth

that I'm going

down

to die
