The Last Prayer

Dwelling in deep shadow
I lived in sin, heart like fire
And though I stumbled through the darkness
I never recant my wicked deeds

Now that I exit the waters of life
Freedom, so yearned, is here at last
Night beckons, darkness grows
The light fades from my eyes

I pray to the old God
The six-pointed star
As he silently watches me
From unfathomable distances

Deliver me from this coarse matter
Freed from the tyranny of time
Rip my soul from this rotting shell
Let the earth swallow my bones

On the twilight of my life
Saturn brands his scythe
His blade pierces the void
Revealing the great mystery
