And only the night can ensure the sweetest embrace
When the comfort of sleep was a welcome respite
From the memories lurking deep within my mind
There was a time life lost all its meaning
When my very existence was an excruciating pain
The unbearable days were slow and agonizing
No hope, no faith, no promises for better days remain
There was a time when giving up was the only answer
To forget and leave the all-consuming nightmare
When the lure of eternal quiet was the only solution
To a bleeding heart that lost all its will and reason
There was a time I died a humbling and poignant D-E-A-T-H
To find my way back to life in a rendezvous with B-I-R-T-H
