Though the time of my end draws nigh,
I want to run,
run and hide.
For he comes like the light,
a wraith hidden, in the blackend blight.
Mortis is comming, comming for me...

As I wait, shell alone,
My older frame I can't let go...
The thought shrivels everything I know,
I hate that bane that comes for this soul..
That burns more than God could ever know...
Mortis is comming, comming for me...

Now alone...and I cannot be..
that wrathful vision haunts me...
Marking, making me his own
Hunting my vitae with a vengence yet unknown.
with visions of the night that will never end..
Mortis is comming, comming for me...

Bed ridden and hopeless,
must I submit?
this wicked ender of fate cuts me..
binds me, blinds me,..hates when I feel..
searching for all I was....
and cutting away all I could be
Mortis is comming, comming for me...

Black my vision makes,
his icy grip I feel
stealing my lung's work
I am drifting..alone..
found among the end..
Mortis came, came for me..

but who,
I ask....
with gasping breath.
mind clouded, close to Deah,
who? I ask....
is comming for you?

Thinking is just what a great many people think they are doing when they are merely rearranging their predjudices.
