Understand I wish not to die
Only cease this existence of mine
For this world is too much to bear
And God knows I can no longer care
Had I been given the chance to foresee
That in life I would never be free
I would\'ve chosen my soul to sell
Just to free it from this earthly hell
Though this calling I long to revoke
I know better than His wrath to provoke
For too high is the price to pay
No matter how hard I pray it away
Now I lay me down to sleep
Through cuts and tears is where I creep
Soon this cold fane shall fall behind
No longer this poor soul it will confine.
