Death
It pledges me
Since my childhood
Till this day it still remains
Afraid to sleep and to dream
My eyes stay open
Defeating
Death
Eyes
Stay open
Alert vigilant
Fighting to see the sunrise
A sunrise that holds the key
To keeping me alive
They do it
Eyes
Night
I'm in love
With the moon and stars
Coming alive after dark
I thrive awake and alert
Becoming my best
When it's dark
Night
Death
Will find me
Someday I am sure
Just before sunrise he'll come
He'll hold out his hand for me
Having shown me life
He'll claim me
Death
