Stay by my side as my light grows dim,
As my blood slows down and my nerves shatter with stabbing pain / as my heart grows weak,
And the wheels of my being turn slowly,
Stay by my side, as my fragile body is racked by pain,
Which verges on truth, and manic time continues scattering dust, and furious life bursts out in flames.
Stay by my side as I fade, so you can point to the end of my struggle,
And the twilight of eternal days, at the low, dark edge of life.
