as we lay lay next to each other on our deathbed
we hold each other tightly for one last time
as we both know that death is near
we are so happy as we lay in each others arms
for we know that we won't ever part
even in death we will always be together
as death nears i feel your skin grow cold and
your face grows pale as the life slowly fades
away in your eyes but your heart still beats
i feel scared as i feel death is over us now and
i hear you say everything will be ok as you struggle
to utter these last words to me
everything is quiet now and your heart no longer beats
i prepare to die but death pauses over me and waits
as i lay next to you my beloved
so lifeless and cold as ice
i ask death to take me now but he just sits and waits
it seems as if i have layed here for years
waiting for death to take me but still he does nothing
as i lie here i remember us lying here on our deathbed
together in each others arms
we were so happy then
what happend?
why am i still here?
we vowed that we would never part no matter what
maybe we were to young to die, but we were so
sure that we wanted to die
why didn't death take me too?
what did i do to deserve this?
this wasnt supposed to happen like this
what went wrong?
i loved you so much and i still do
i never did anything wrong i just wanted to be with you
i know you watching me i know you feel my pain
do you remember when we first met?
do you remember when we held each other so tightly til
we couldn't breathe?
do you remember when we first kissed?
do you remember when we had our first fight?
do you remember when we fell asleep in each others arms?
do you remember me?
do you remember us?
i remember you
i can never forget you and i will never forget you
you promised me thatif we didn't make it out together
that you would come back for me
but i'm still here
why am i still here?
i know you love me very much
but why would you leave me behind
we were supposed to die together
i don't understand
why you and not us?
it feels like its been an eternity since you've been gone
my heart aches for your love
my body longs for your touch
but you're not here to wipe away my tears
to chase away my fears
i wish you could hold me in your arms for one last time
i long to see your face your smile
as we walk to desire
hand in hand
through fields of fire
with only our love to light the way
on the road to judgement day we vow to never part
again even in death
death has finally come to me and i now am with you
after all this time of waiting i am finally in your arms
once again as we lay on our deathbed
