I drift through existential thought
This illness I have fought
Yet I drop to my knees
Before this fell disease
And hence I leave this mortal coil
My bones cast to the soil
Does death await us all
Or life forevermore
Lo! I hear the final melody
The phantom strings of death
My God, what shall become of me
Now I will
Take my last breath
All must meet with death
But they fear I now hold
Fades away, a new life I behold
Will I gaze into the void
The mind and heart destroyed
Let thoughts lie down and die
While eyes no longer cry
Or will I wake again to hear
A sweet voice calling clear
Will I see before my eyes
A golden swift sunrise
Lo! I hear the final melody
The phantom strings of death
My God, what shall become of me
Now I will
Take my last breath
All must meet with death
But they fear I now hold
Fades away, a new life I behold
Lo! I hear the final melody
The phantom strings of death
My God, what shall become of me
Now I will
Take my last breath
All must meet with death
But they fear I now hold
Fades away, a new life I behold
Fades away, a new life I behold
