in a second a life can end
in a heart beat a life can start
time so short and all we do is see
nothing in a life

where is the darkness in my heart
where is the life that you seek
never have I seen such a tortured soul
and nothing seems so meek

in an hour a pain can grow
but in a minute my song can cure it
when will you give me the chance
to show you how to use it

I open my eyes once again
the tears stream down my face
I look you in the eye
and see what I have lost

and again I see that second pass by
as a heart stops beating in my chest
just take a chance to cry
for we have little time left

these last words leave my lips
my breath starts to fade
my cold touch fills your soul
as my life fades..... in your arms
