The course of blood inside my viens
Is just enough to keep me sane
In the event my life shall fade
At least I know my part's been played.

Life's a stage, I know it's true
It's been so long since my debut
Now my career has met its end
My tired soul no more can mend.

I feel an ache inside my heart
So yes, I know it's time to part
I know not how I know it's time
The bells of death begin to chime.

I wish it did not have to be
But the Grim Reaper spoke to me
Within a dream I heard my name
The Reaper would soon come to claim.

That is why I'm not surprised
To see the bright lights undisguised
The headlights now are coming near
I'll leave the world with but one tear.
