The regrets of your life will haunt you in death, better start making things right before it’s all gone in a blink.

My voice stirs the echoes,

From the Pits Of Despair,

Their melody resonates with pain,

From a living nightmare.

Whispered words,

Of loved ones lost,

Painful suffering,

From paying the ultimate cost.

****************************

Chorus:

My own wanting,

My relentless desire,

Casting virtues,

Into open fire.

Never for a minute,

Was there pause to think,

Now the worlds ends,

Gone in a blink.

****************************

The song of hell,

Composed with mixed intentions,

Hope lost,

After failed interventions.

Cries of kin,

Losing their last shreds belief,

And I,

I play the roll of the covetous thief.

Chorus:

*********************************

My own wanting,

My relentless desire,

Casting virtues,

Into open fire.

Never for a minute,

Was there pause to think,

Now the worlds ends,

Gone in a blink.

    We all look back and see mistakes we would change if we could. Better not to dwell on it, just try to do better with the future.
